Title
WHO - European Standards for Drinking Water
Abstract
It should be stressed that the proposals set out in this report are intended
for guidance only ; they are recommendations and in no sense mandatory.
The report is concerned with the minimal chemical and bacterial quality
that might reasonably be expected of piped supplies of water for domestic
use. By a piped supply is meant a drinking-water which is supplied through
a distribution system and which is under the control of, or subject to regulations made by, communal or local authorities. Though it is logically
desirable that the quality of water for individual and small-community
supplies should not be inferior to that supplied to the public in large communities, it is not considered that all small rural supplies could reasonably
be expected to conform to the standards suggested for piped supplies as
defined above.
It is, however, important that local health authorities should exercise
some control over at least the bacterial quality of private and individual
supplies of drinking-water.
