§
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
The EC drinking water directive allows departure from its standards either by delay under article 20 or by derogation under article 9. Scottish public water supplies subject to application for delay and those subject to derogations are set out in the tables. Improvement programmes, with timetables, for supplies subject to delay have been submitted to the European Commission. Most are in progress and a significant number are virtually complete.
Recent review has indicated further supplies which do not meet the standards. These are not included in the tables pending consideration by Scottish Development Department of appropriate action.
Up-to-date detailed cost figures for individual supplies are not available, but recent estimates by Scottish water authorities suggested that the overall cost of fully complying with the standards might approach £700 million.
