Drinking Water Safety Plans are a legislative requirement of the Water Services Act 2021 and these should be reviewed annually.

Successful Drinking Water Safety Plans are the result of a number of processes undertaken by the Water Supplier. We view Drinking Water Safety Plans as a key part of a wider quality and compliance framework for the successful drinking water delivery process.
