It has come to the attention of Clonmel Borough Council that due to a combination of power failure and severe weather that the public water supply served by the Poulavanogue Water Supply may be contaminated. On the advice of the Health Service Executive and as a precautionary measure pending further investigation, atemporary boil water notice is being issued. Accordingly, in the interest of public health, it is recommended that all users on the Poulavanogue water scheme boil water before use.
- Water must be boiled for:
- Drinking
- Drinks made with water.
- Preparation of salads and similar foods, which are not cooked prior to eating.
- Brushing of Teeth.
- Making of ice.
- Water can be used for personal hygiene, bathing and flushing of toilets but not for brushing teeth or gargling.
- Boil water by bringing to a vigorous, rolling boil and allow to cool. Cover and store in a refrigerator or cold place. Water from the hot tap is not safe to drink. Domestic water filters will not render water safe to drink.
- Caution should be taken when bathing children to ensure that they do not swallow the bathing water.
- Discard ice cubes in fridges and freezers and filtered water in fridges. Make ice from cooled boiled water.
- Use water prepared for drinking when preparing foods that will not be cooked (e.g. washing salads )
- Prepare baby feeds with water that has been brought to the boil once and cooled. Do not use water that has been reboiled several times. Do not use bottled mineral water as some brands contain concentrations of minerals that are too high for babies.
- Anyone suffering from diarrhoea for more than two days should contact their general practitioner and provide a stool sample for testing. They should continue to drink plenty of boiled or bottled water.
Great care should be taken with boiled water to avoid burns and scalds as accidents can easily happen, especially with children.
How long before the boil water notice can be lifted?
We do not know at present, but Clonmel Borough Council will continue to liaise with the Health Service Executive with a view to lifting the Temporary Boil Water Notice as soon as practicable.

Clonmel Junction Festival have been running a Trainee Programme at the festival for the last two years. This scheme, which is the only one of its kind in the country, offers teenagers a two week trainee programme working with an artist or technical professional and the opportunity to go to see many of the festival shows, meet with the visiting artists and get an inside knowledge of the workings of the running a large multi arts festival. The festival is delighted that LIT Tipperary have come on board as sponsors of this programme for 2012. This year the trainees will this year receive a certificate with the LIT Tipperary crest on it which will be presented at a special post festival event by a senior member of Clonmel Campus LIT staff .
The 2012 Trainee programme will run from July 2nd – 16th. The Festival is looking for enthusiastic committed individuals who would like to participate in the Festival’s Cafés projects, press or production. A typical trainee schedule will include one daily four-hour slot. Tasks will include help with set up and decoration of spaces, briefing in the proposed area of interest, as well as being a support and/or active participant in the chosen activity. This experience is guaranteed to be rewarding as the trainee will meet new people, observe and assist professionals at work, partake in challenging activities, improved their social and communication skills and acquire new knowledge in the selected field.
There is a € 35 registration fee which entitles the Trainee to a festival tee-shirt, a Badge which entitles the Trainee to free entry to shows that are not sold out, and a staff discount at the festival canteen. If short-listed, the applicant will be required to attend at least one preliminary briefing meeting.
Over 70 Trainees have passed through the programme over the last two years with many more participating in the youth programmes run over the two previous years. Many of these teenagers have maintained contact with the festival throughout the year. Most notably the trainees from the Story Lab Café in 2011 who went on to form their own bi monthly story telling circle which has been a terrific success. Another group of 2011 Trainees have been meeting on each Saturday during the spring devising visual art projects and assisting the Festival staff to plan the Trainee Programme for 2012.
