The Drinking Water Inspectorate is a unit within the Environment and Heritage Service, responsible for regulating the drinking water quality in Northern Ireland.
It carries out detailed inspections of water sampling and analytical processes, and assesses water treatment and distribution policies and practices. Each year the Inspectorate publishes an annual report of drinking water quality in Northern Ireland and develops policy and regulation on drinking water issues, in association with other UK Drinking Water Regulators. Water is one of our most vital nutrients and natural resources. Not only is it essential to sustain life itself, but it also plays a crucial role in our economic development and social well-being.
