The Drinking Water Ordinance regulates water quality standards intended for human consumption. Specific requirements are set out. Above all, water should be free of defined bacteria and germs, and certain threshold values must not be exceeded.

Implementation of the EU directive on the quality of water intended for human consumption. What are the upcoming changes? What are the legal aspects and transitional arrangements?
