Uganda Standard for Potable Water (US EAS 12: 2014).

This standard sets minimum requirements for physical, chemicals and microbiological characteristics that affect safety and quality of drinking water. The use of this standard is expected to ensure provision of safe and quality drinking water for human consumption. It also specifies requirements and methods of monitoring of quality of potable water (treated potable water and natural potable water) and requires drinking water systems operators to develop, implement and maintain a water safety plan taking into consideration the potential risks to the safety of the water from the supply catchment area to the consumer.
