§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state, by region or island water authority, the water supply zones which do not fully comply with the requirements of the EC drinking water directive, stating for each the parameters concerned and expected compliance date in each case; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Hector MonroThe Water Supply (Water Quality) (Scotland) Regulations 1990 incorporate the requirements of the EC drinking water directive. The zones listed in the table are currently subject to improvement undertakings given by water authorities because one or more of the standards set in the regulations has been infringed in the past. Details of current water quality in individual supply zones are available in public registers maintained by water authorities.
In the zones listed, reported results continue to show that, in many cases, breaches of the standard are marginal or infrequent. It is also clear that many of the zones listed are not experiencing difficulty in achieving the standards concerned, and in these cases the undertakings are simply precautionary. In the majority of zones the contravention relates to only one of the 57 standards set.
