[QUOTE="Mount, post: 6768518, member: 146366"] As far as I understand it, it’s the same whether for own use or for tenants or sold to third parties. I have until the end of February to comply but will have to ask for an extension. I don’t know whether they will grant it though. The water is tested annually. The crazy thing is that the authority got in a muddle with its paper work for about 15 years and we didn’t see them at all. They realised and employed a consultant who discovered we weren’t connected to the mains and came visiting with clip boards and threatening behaviour. We then received a Regulation 18 notice which tells us in no uncertain terms that the water is unhealthy and a serious risk to human health. We were told to provide an alternative supply for drinking immediately and to display the notice in all properties and to all tenants. This was last September. We instructed the company who installed our current filtration system to put a plan together immediately but it’s taken a long time. It is particularly difficult and expensive to remove Sodium and Fluoride. Our water is tested at the tap. The mains water is tested at source, but I assume they must test it at various points in the network as well. [/QUOTE]
