Private Water Supplies Regulations 2009 (S.I. No. 3101 of 2009).

These Regulations apply in England in relation to private supplies of water intended for human consumption other than those provided by a water undertaker or a licensed water supplier. They provide rules for water supply and reinforce control on supply by private suppliers by local authorities. They make it an offence to breach a notice served by the local authority regarding a private supply of water intended for human consumption which constitutes a potential danger to human health. A local authority shall carry out a risk assessment of the private water supply, monitor the supply and keep records. The Regulations set out procedures if the private water supply is not wholesome.
