Water fitting regulations

Severn Trent Water prides itself on supplying the highest quality water to our customers and we are committed to maintain these standards which are rigorously monitored by our Regulators.

We must also ensure that others follow the rules on connecting, using and maintaining pipes and water fittings inside homes and businesses.

These rules are called the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (the Regulations) and are designed to stop the waste, misuse, undue consumption, erroneous measurement and more importantly contamination of the drinking water supply.

It is a legal requirement for us to enforce the Regulations and to ensure that we adopt a consistent approach on enforcing these Regulations within our area of supply.
