˜ Potability of mains water
Find out about the potability of your mains water
supply. Your local water authority or water supply
company will be able to inform you.
The following general recommendations
apply to the potability of the water from
your pipework:
Let the water run freely for a short time if it has
been stagnating in the pipework for more than
four hours. Do not use any of this stagnant water
in the preparation of food or for drinking. This
applies particularly as far as babies and infants
are concerned. Failure to observe this advice may
result in risks to health. Fresh water can be readily
distinguished from stagnant as fresh water is
noticeably cooler.
Do not use stagnant water from chromium-plated
pipework for the preparation of food or for
drinking or for personal hygiene if you are allergic
to nickel. This water may contain high quantities of
nickel and trigger an allergic reaction.
Do not use water from lead pipework for preparing
food or drink for babies or infants. Do not use it
for preparing food or drink during pregnancy.
Lead dissolves in drinking water and is particularly
damaging to the health of babies and young
children.
