Monitoring Water Quality
The City Council is responsible for maintaining the public mains systems and ensuring the quality of the water they distribute.
The quality of Drinking Water is covered by The European Communities (Drinking Water) Regulations, 2000 (S.I. 439 of 2000).
The main requirements are to monitor the drinking water in the distribution system for parameters listed in the regulations at frequencies , which are dependent on the volume of water treated.
The City Council utilise the services of the Public Analysts Lab and the Microbiological Lab, UCHG, to independently analyse water samples submitted by the City Council under Drinking Water Regulations.
If a water supply constitutes a danger to human health the City Council makes sure that the water supply is restricted and that the public are made aware of the dangers as soon as possible.
Each year the Drinking Water Monitor results are published and you can find them on this website
