9 September 2022 – Following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), Irish Water and Monaghan County Council can confirm that the Do Not Consume Notice impacting customers supplied by Three Mile House & Togan Public Water Supply Scheme has been lifted with immediate effect and the water is safe to drink. The notice was issued to protect approximately 319 customers following elevated levels of manganese in the water supply.
Peter Gallagher, Regional Operations Lead with Irish Water said: “Irish Water acknowledges and understands the impact this Do Not Consume Notice had on the community and we sincerely regret the inconvenience. Our drinking water compliance and operational experts worked hard to resolve this issue as quickly and as safely as possible and we endeavoured to keep stakeholders updated at every stage of the process. We are grateful to the media, elected representatives and members of the public who shared the information. We would also like to thank Monaghan County Council and the HSE for their input and support throughout the process.”
All consumers on the Three Mile House & Togan Public Water Supply Scheme can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
