TD requests update on Thurles Area Water Supply

Deputy Michael Lowry has requested ‘prompt response and action’ in relation to the persistent Water Supply challenges being faced by the residents and businesses in Holycross, Thurles, Ballycahill, Bouladuff, Dovea, Borrisoleigh and Drom and the surrounding areas.

In a strongly worded letter to the CEO of Uisce Eireann, Deputy Lowry says that these communities have been grappling with a series of distressing and unacceptable water-related difficulties, affecting a large number of households and individuals, while also causing major problems for local businesses.

"It is particularly concerning that the area has been under a Boil Water Notice for approximately 32 days. This situation has given rise to significant hardship and disruption for the people and businesses in the affected areas," says Deputy Lowry.

He stated that urgent attention is needed to rectify the ongoing water supply issues and to ensure that a safe and reliable water supply is restored as swiftly as possible.

"It is of utmost importance that I receive a timely and meaningful response to this matter. I implore you to consider the gravity of the situation and the broader implications it holds for the economic stability of the areas affected."
