UPDATE: Residents of Cleggan and Claddaghduff can breathe easy as Uisce Éireann has confirmed that the public water supply is safe to drink. This assurance follows recent reports of unpleasant taste and odour issues affecting some customers.

Authorities reported that specialized testing has validated the water’s compliance with strict regulatory standards. Although naturally occurring compounds have caused some residents to notice an earthy or musty taste and smell, these compounds are confirmed as non-harmful.

Eoin Hughes, a representative from Uisce Éireann, stated, “While the smell and taste can be unpleasant for some customers, these naturally occurring compounds are not harmful and the water remains safe to drink.” He emphasized that the authority is committed to ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water for all customers in the area.

Residents are encouraged to report any further concerns to Uisce Éireann as the authority continues to monitor the water supply. The latest test results indicate that the drinking water microbiological and chemical analysis confirms its safety.

This development is crucial for the local community, as safe drinking water is essential for health and well-being. Uisce Éireann’s proactive approach highlights the importance of transparency and responsiveness in addressing public health concerns.
