Water Regulations

The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 set out national requirements for the design, materials, installation and maintenance of plumbing systems, water fittings and water-using appliances. They are designed to protect your drinking water supply from contamination, and prevent inefficient use of water. The regulations apply to all types of premises in England and Wales with plumbing systems, water fittings and equipment. ICE provide water regulation services and recification works to ensure your business meets these regulations.

As a business, it is your legal duty to ensure your systems satisfy these requirements.

Your water company is responsible to the Government for the enforcement of the regulations and have the right to visit your premises and carry out checks to ensure your water fittings comply.
