Water Regulations
The latest Water Regulations were introduced in July 1999 in England and Wales.
The Regulations consist of –
• The actual “Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999”
• Schedules 1, 2 & 3
• Government Guidance (G-Clauses)
• Water Industry Clauses (R-Clauses)
The first three are available free of charge.
To obtain all four, together with clear colour illustrations you need to buy the Water Regulations Guide.
The Regulations are the property of the government and are law.
