Irish Water has confirmed that water from the Naas Public Water Supply is safe to drink.

Samples taken last week at a number of locations in Naas including Radharc an Chaislean are compliant with all drinking water regulations, while it has also been confirmed a source of an illness from campylobacter bacteria is not from the public water supply.

Irish Water said: "Regular routine water sampling is carried out in the network area and daily testing at the Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant which treats the water that supplies Naas. Sampling undertaken on the 20, 28 and 30 August confirmed that the water supply in Naas is compliant with all drinking water regulations.

"Further to this, additional sampling at the property in Radharc an Chaislean where a member of the family is unwell has confirmed the water is compliant and is not the source of the campylobacter bacteria that caused the family member to become unwell."
