New Safety Rules for Drinking Water and Legionella Prevention
The act introduces strict quality controls for drinking water from source to tap, focusing on preventing Legionella and lead contamination in public and multi-family buildings. Citizens will receive better information about water quality and prices, while municipalities must provide public water points and support those with limited access.
Key points
Safety at the tap: Continuous monitoring of water quality for bacteria (like Legionella) and harmful chemicals (like lead).
Duties for building managers: Owners and managers of residential blocks, hotels, and hospitals must assess water system risks by June 30, 2028 (single-family homes are exempt).
Better information for citizens: Water suppliers must provide annual updates on water quality, price per liter, and household consumption trends.
Support for vulnerable groups: Municipalities must identify people lacking water access and help them connect to the grid or provide alternative sources.
Public water points: Local authorities and building managers will install and maintain free, publicly accessible drinking water points.
Strict penalties: Fines ranging from 100 PLN to 60,000 PLN will be imposed on suppliers and managers for failing to monitor water or assess risks.
