As the operator of a water supply system, you are obliged to register it. Furthermore, as the operator of a building water supply system, you are obliged to register a non-drinking water system operated in the same building.

In order to ensure the quality of drinking water, the water for drinking water supply must be tested for impurities at regular intervals.

To determine the necessary tests and test intervals, you must notify your responsible health authority of the (re)commissioning, construction, significant structural or operational changes or transfer of ownership of water supply systems.

The public health department will then contact you regarding an on-site inspection.

Your health authority will contact you for an on-site inspection of your water supply system and coordinate the next steps with you.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

You must register a water supply system or non-drinking water system with the local health authority four weeks before (re)commissioning, construction or transfer of ownership. You must report any decommissioning within three days.

If the circumstance requiring notification in the case of mobile and temporary water supply systems is caused by emergency response, civil protection or defense measures, the notification can be made immediately after the end of these measures.
