Included in the requirements is a commitment to supply information to the public on water quality
New regulations have been signed by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien, to improve the standards of Irish drinking water. Minimum hygiene requirements will be introduced for materials that come into contact with water and there will be increased water access for vulnerable and marginalised groups of people.
“These new regulations will add additional quality measures to continue to ensure that our drinking water remains wholesome and clean,” said Mr O’Brien. “Guided by an expert working group of all relevant stakeholders providing professional advice, we have developed – and will now implement – regulations which will ensure we comply with EU standards and, crucially, provide high quality water supplies to the people of Ireland.
