A post on the council's Facebook page said it undertakes regular monitoring of water at popular swimming locations to ensure water is safe for public use. 

"Recent sampling has identified that water quality at the Liffey River, the Esplanade at Bracknell is currently unsuitable for recreational use," the post said.

"[The] council will continue monitoring and will advise the public when recreational use can recommence."

Earlier in February, the council said its environmental officers had been sampling the water to ensure water was safe. 

"With a number of people enjoying the natural environments and recreational opportunities that Meander Valley has to offer, council’s environmental health officers are sampling water at popular swimming spots at Blackstone Heights, Bracknell, Hadspen and Egmont," it said.
