Installation: FAQs

Does a drinking water tap have to be installed?

If water is supplied for drinking, cooking, bathing or washing (domestic use) a drinking water tap must be installed.

Where possible this should be supplied direct from mains i.e. not via any water fitting which stores, treats or filters the water.
