Drinking Water Hygiene

Drinking water is subject to a wide range of influences

.
The composition and quality of drinking water can be influenced both during water extraction and in the distribution network and storage. The investigation of such influences is therefore not a purely routine activity but requires extensive knowledge of the catchment area of the waterworks.

Only in close interaction with regular, professional analyses of the water by independent institutions can the desired high standard be maintained.
