Quality of Drinking Water in South Tipperary
Last updated Feburary 2010
Welcome to South Tipperary County Council’s Drinking Water Results Webpage. South Tipperary County Council monitors each public water supply at a frequency that exceeds the minimum requirements of the 2007 Drinking Water Regulations: http://www.environ.ie/en/Legislation/Environment/Water/FileDownLoad,1541,en.pdf.
Under those Regulations the monitoring can be divided under ‘Check Monitoring’ and ‘Audit Monitoring’. The former consists of core microbiological and chemical parameters. This monitoring is less demanding in terms of parameters covered during testing but is carried out on a more frequent basis. Audit Monitoring on the other hand is much more detailed and expensive to undertake but is undertaken less frequently typically two to four times per year depending on the population served by the particular scheme.
