New Drinking Water Safety and Quality Control Rules
The act introduces comprehensive changes to the water supply system, focusing on risk assessment at every stage, from source to tap. It imposes new obligations on municipalities, water suppliers, and building owners, especially hospitals, hotels, and schools, to test water for Legionella bacteria and lead. For citizens, this means greater access to water quality information, new safety standards for materials in contact with water, and potential costs related to the modernization of internal installations.
Key points
Introduction of mandatory risk assessment for the entire water supply chain – from the intake, through the network, to the internal building installation.
New obligations for owners and managers of priority buildings (hospitals, hotels, schools, prisons) for regular testing of water for Legionella bacteria and lead.
Stricter requirements for materials and products (pipes, seals) and chemicals used for water treatment – they will require new certificates and approvals.
Obligation for municipalities to inform residents about water quality, threats, and ways to save water, as well as to identify people without access to clean water.
Introduction of financial penalties for water suppliers and building owners for failing to meet new obligations, e.g., lack of risk assessment or failure to submit test results.
Standardization of definitions and standards for water testing laboratories to increase the reliability of test results.
