Irish Water says water in Naas is safe to drink.

It follows social media commentary on the smell and appearance of the water in recent weeks.

Irish Water, in a statement to Kfm Radio, says "there have been no reported issues at the treatment plants that supply this area. "

The firm affirms that it "carries out regular testing and monitoring of all public water supplies in Ireland "

Eoin Beatty delivered the statement on Tuesday's edition of Kildare Today.


"Irish Water, working in partnership with Kildare County Council, would like to reassure customers in Naas and surrounding areas that the drinking water is safe to drink and there have been no reported issues at the treatment plants that supply this area. The drinking water produced at these plants is fully compliant with statutory drinking water regulations. Irish Water carries out regular testing and monitoring of all public water supplies in Ireland in accordance with this legislation. If customers have concerns about their water quality or experience supply issues, they should contact the Irish Water customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278 or Twitter @IWCare so that we can investigate.  

Irish Water continues to work with our Local Authority partners, contractors and others to safeguard the health and well-being of both staff and the public and to ensure the continuity of critical drinking water and wastewater services. Irish Water would like to remind people to follow the HSE COVID-19 advice and ensure frequent handwashing."
