What the checklist covers
Pick your nation, then tell us where the water comes from, who it serves and what treatment is fitted. You'll get a list to tick off and print:
- the records worth keeping together before a council visit or a sale
- questions to ask your local council
- questions to ask about a sample or test report
- questions for whoever maintains a UV unit or filters
- questions for the other properties, if the supply is shared
What it doesn't do
It doesn't say whether your water is fit to drink, and it gives no sampling intervals. Those depend on your supply and your nation, so ask the council and read our guides, which cite and date the official pages: the risk assessment visit, test report questions and UV unit questions. The four nations have different arrangements, so don't carry a rule from one over to another.
