Drinking Water Inspectorate

The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) is a UK government regulatory body responsible for overseeing the safety and quality of drinking water. It ensures that water supplied to homes and businesses meets strict standards for cleanliness, safety, and taste. The DWI assesses water companies’ compliance, investigates complaints, and enforces regulations to protect public health. Its role is to provide assurance that tap water is safe to drink, monitoring ongoing safety through regular testing and inspections. In essence, the DWI helps ensure that the water people drink is clean, safe, and of a consistent quality.
