Public Health Wales works with water companies, local authorities and others to ensure water is of the highest quality. One way we do this is through the Water Health Partnership for Wales which brings together a range of professionals to work on issues related to water and health. Current work includes managing risks from lead in drinking water, private water supplies, bathing waters and drought.
Occasionally water contamination events occur and when this happens we work with others to assess the potential impact on health and ensure appropriate measures are quickly put in place to safeguard the public.
If you are concerned about the quality of your drinking water, we recommend you contact your water company in the first instance or your local authority if you are on a private water supply. If you have public health enquiries, please contact Public Health Wales.
