Uisce Éireann has issued a boil water notice for Newport town and surrounding areas in County Tipperary, including Birdhill, Ballina, Gortybrigane, Ballinahinch, and Killoscully. Approximately 8,000 customers are affected due to a deterioration in raw water quality impacting the treatment plant. Residents must boil all water for drinking, food preparation, and teeth brushing until further notice.

New causes include pump failures, burst mains, and delays in water source connections, leading to overnight restrictions in some communities. A workshop is scheduled for October 6th in Thurles to address the crisis. Update (Uisce Éireann, 22.09.2026, 10:35): The measure was taken following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE).
