Amharc ar fhreagraManagement of public drinking water supplies to ensure compliance with quality standards is the responsibility of each local authority, in this case Galway City Council. Under the European Communities (Drinking Water) (No.2) Regulations, 2007, local authority drinking water supplies are subject to supervision by the EPA. I have no direct function in the matter.
