Monitoring your water quality and composition
The quality of your water is monitored in accordance with a strict set of rules laid down in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000.
The Drinking Water Inspectorate is responsible for monitoring compliance with these regulations.
Every year, several hundred thousand samples are taken from our treatment works, underground service reservoirs and customers' taps.
Fluoridation
None of the water supplied by Southern Water has fluoride added to it. Fluoride occurs naturally in very low levels.
