Drinking Water Quality Guidelines

Drinking Water Quality Guidelines are standards set by health authorities to ensure water is safe, clean, and healthy to consume. They specify the acceptable limits for various substances, such as bacteria, chemicals, and minerals, to prevent health risks. These guidelines help water suppliers monitor and treat water effectively, reducing the chance of illnesses and ensuring that tap water tastes and feels acceptable. Importantly, they are recommended limits, meaning water that meets these standards is considered safe for the majority of people. Regular testing and treatment are key to maintaining water quality and public health.
