Tap Water, Quality Water

Our water has passed health authority controls, thanks to the application of state-of-the-art drinking water treatments and effective, continuous quality control of the water supply.

To establish the quality required of tap water, the European Union, following WHO guidelines, sets the limits for components present in water, including pathogenic microorganisms and toxins, although many of these are harmless to the human body (some are even beneficial), whilst other are only harmful when present in large amounts.

Our water has easily passed health authority controls, thanks to the application of state-of-the-art drinking water treatments and effective, continuous quality control of the water supply.

Tap water quality is the responsibility of:

  • The Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs
  • The health authorities of the autonomous communities
  • Town councils
  • The supply companies
  • Owners of the indoor installations in their property
