Statement : Drinking Water Quality
A Northern Ireland Water spokesperson has moved to reassure customers about the quality of drinking water throughout Northern Ireland despite recent flooding:
“NI Water would like to reassure customers that despite the widespread flooding at the weekend, the security of drinking water has not been affected. Despite many people experiencing both internal and external flooding, NI Water can assure customers that their drinking water is completely safe to drink.
“Despite the exceptional volume of rainfall and the resultant surface flooding, all of our water supply assets remained fully functional. The only exception to this is an interruption to supply for customers in the South Down area. This was due to a damaged outlet main from Fofanny Treatment Works which was a result of rain damage over the weekend to the Cavan Road, Rathfriland. Whilst this has caused an interruption to water supply, the quality of drinking water is not in question.
“NI Water sample and analyse drinking water 365 days of the year to proactively check the quality of drinking water at our customer’s taps. Our water supply is stringently monitored and this strict scrutiny has remained in place during this flooding period.”
