(2) The risk assessment is to establish whether there is a significant risk of supplying water that would constitute a potential danger to human health.
(3) It must also carry out a risk assessment of a private supply to a single dwelling not used for any commercial activity if requested to do so by the owner or occupier of that dwelling.
