NAPLES, Italy — The Navy has yet to release the results of tests on tap water from 13 homes leased by Americans in Casal di Principe — tagged as posing a possible health concern more than five weeks ago.

Those homes were tested after the tap water of three other U.S.-leased homes in the area tested positive for volatile organic compounds.

The Navy announced Oct. 10 that it had expedited its testing analysis process, cutting from 12 weeks to an average of seven working days to complete general water testing for bacteria and volatile organic compounds, such as dry-cleaning solvents.

But those results were expected nearly a week ago.

"We’re still working on that, still waiting, and hope to have something by the end of the week," Cmdr. Jeff McAtee said Wednesday of test results on the 13 homes.
