Notice Description
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), through the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), a unit within DAERA, has a statutory responsibility for private water supplies under the Water and Sewerage Services Order (Northern Ireland) 2006. This is implemented through The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 which requires a sampling and analysis programme to be put in place and maintained for all private water supplies registered under these regulations (Regulations 9 - 12).
