This Order establishes quality requirements for drinking water, including water used for food.

Water Supply Operators shall provide information about water sampling points at water plants and submit them for analysis at laboratories for approval. The local authority may issue orders and impose additional quality standards and inspection programs for substances and microorganisms that are not defined in the included Appendix if deemed that they may be present in a quantity or concentration which poses a risk to health.
