Drinking Water Regulations
Both the supplier and the relevant Local Authority have legal responsibilities in relation to private supplies, under the European Union (Drinking Water) Regulations 2014 and 2023.
A water supply that is an exempt supply under Regulation 3 of the European Union (Drinking Water) Regulations 2023, is one which constitutes an individual supply of less than 10 cubic metres a day on average and serves fewer than 50 persons or is not supplied as part of a commercial public activity. These water supplies are to be tested annually by an accredited lab and this annual test must be arranged by the group water scheme. Please click for access to the current list of accredited labs who will carry out this test on the water supply.

Registration of private well supplies used as part of commercial or public activities
If you have your own private water supply, such as a well, and you are using this water as part of a public or commercial activity, you should register this with Leitrim County Council in accordance with the European Union (Drinking Water Regulations) 2023. The Council will then carry out tests on the water quality to ensure that the water supply is safe for drinking in line with the Drinking Water Regulations 2023.
If you are the owner of a private well supply being used as part of a commercial or public authority, then you should register this property with the Council. Examples of the types of premises include schools, creches, shops, community centres, public houses, food establishments, etc.
