New Rules for Drinking Water Safety and Risk Assessment in Water Supply Systems
This law introduces comprehensive changes to the water supply system, focusing on risk assessment at every stage – from source to tap. It imposes new obligations on water suppliers, building owners, and municipalities to ensure the safety and cleanliness of drinking water. For citizens, this means greater water quality control, new duties for building managers (e.g., testing for Legionella bacteria), and easier access to water information.
Key points
Introduction of mandatory risk assessments for the entire water supply chain – from the water intake area, through the supply system, to the internal plumbing of a building.
New obligations for owners and managers of priority buildings (e.g., hospitals, hotels, schools) – they must test water for Legionella bacteria and lead, and conduct risk assessments.
Water suppliers will be required to annually inform consumers about water quality, risk assessment results, and for large suppliers, also the volume of network leaks.
Municipalities are tasked with identifying people without access to drinking water and taking action to improve this access.
Introduction of financial penalties for water suppliers and building managers for failing to meet obligations, such as neglecting water quality tests.
Introduction of certificates for materials and products in contact with drinking water, aimed at increasing installation safety.
