Know your rights!

December 16, 2010

Did you know there was a Drinking Water Inspectorate? Formed in 1990 they provide independent assurance that water supplies in England and Wales are safe and drinking water quality is acceptable to consumers.

Based in London the Inspectorate has three areas of operation: the audit of water companies, regulations on improving drinking water and the science and strategy behind Defra’s water quality and health research programmes. You can find out more at http://www.dwi.gov.uk/index.htm .

If you’re in the business of water quality you’ll want to know about our new range of water quality meters coming soon.  Follow us at http://twitter.com/#!/vanwalt to keep up with the latest news from Van Walt.
