Print PageDrinking Water Quality
The quality of water in Ireland is regulated by the European Communities (Drinking Water) (No. 2) Regulations 2007. The aim of Kildare Co Co is to supply high quality water which complies with the regulations. If there is a non compliance or a failure to meet a standard this is investigated and actions are taken to return to compliance.
The Environmental Health Service HSE (Co Kildare) monitors drinking water quality on behalf of Kildare Co Co. The samples are analysed by the Public Analysts’ Laboratory Dublin 2. If it is considered that there is a risk to public health from a water supply the consumers will be informed.
Monitoring results are tabulated below and will be updated regularly.
The water supplied from Ballymore Eustace Waterworks, Leixlip Waterworks and Rathvilly Waterworks is tested extensively at the waterworks and also in each County Council distribution system. Testing for the Cryptosporidium micro-organism is carried out at each waterworks where water is sourced from surface water.
The quality of the public water supplies in Co. Kildare is of a high standard. The water is safe to drink.
