	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2023 answer text <p>The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 – which, in part, are designed to prevent contamination of drinking water supplies from water fittings – do not cover the design of boilers or hot water tanks, including the materials they are constructed from. If a consumer suspects that their drinking water is contaminated, they should contact their local water company who will investigate. If the cause of contamination is identified as occurring from plumbing inside the property, water companies will provide instructions to the consumer on remedial action to consider such as replacement or repair of the defective component. All plumbing inside a property is the responsibility of the property owner.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 15/11/2023 13:57:44 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
