New water quality rules: cleaner tap water and better information access.
The law introduces stricter quality standards for drinking water, improving citizens' health safety. Water suppliers will have to regularly inform residents about water quality, price, and consumption, while municipalities will ensure better access to free water in public spaces.
Key points
Stricter tap water quality checks, including mandatory testing for lead and Legionella bacteria in large buildings and public facilities.
Mandatory information for residents (e.g., on bills or via apps) regarding water quality, price per liter, and household consumption.
Municipal actions to provide free access to drinking water in public places (e.g., water fountains) and encouraging its provision in restaurants.
Reduction of water leaks from supply networks, which may help lower water bills for households in the future.
