Speaking about the Boil Water Notice, Uisce Éireann's Regional Operations Lead, Ronan Walsh said;
"There has been exceptionally heavy rainfall in Wexford all day today and there has been some flooding at the water treatment plant site in Ballindaggin, which means we will have to put a Boil Water Notice in place due to the possibility of untreated water getting into the network. Our colleagues and crews from Wexford County Council are on site assessing the situation and we will monitor the situation very closely over the next few day. However, as public health is our number one priority, we will only lift the BWN when it is safe to do so and in consultation with the HSE. We understand the inconvenience this can cause homes and businesses so we thank them for their cooperation and patience. We will continue to provide updates as information becomes available."
