EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) including clarifications and the completion of transposition of Council Directive 98/83/EC (on the quality of water intended for human consumption, OJ No. L 330, 5.12.1998, p.32) (“the Directive”).
Regulation 3 clarifies the requirement to use only specified products or substances for private water supplies after the coming into force of the 2009 Regulations and introduces a provision to ensure that, where disinfection treatment is practised, disinfection by-products are kept to a practical minimum as required by the Directive. This latter provision underpins the requirement already contained in Schedule 3 of the 2009 Regulations to limit disinfection by-products to residual levels.
Regulation 4 clarifies that actions specified in notices served under regulation 19 of the 2009 Regulations are remedial actions.
Regulation 5 amends Schedule 2 on the Requirements for Risk Assessment to ensure that provisions are only included in the risk assessment where appropriate.
