Drink to quality results

摘要

The Drinking Water Inspectorate's (DWI) eleventh annual report reveals further improvement in tap water quality. In 2000, 99.83 per cent of the 2.7 million drinking water samples taken met the required standards. The number of samples failing to meet the drinking water standards was approximately 4500. This is less than one eleventh of the 50,000 samples that failed to meet the standards in 1992 - the best result achieved by water companies to date.
