A private water supply is, in general terms, any water supply which is not a public water supply provided by Severn Trent. Sources of private water supplies include wells, boreholes, springs, streams, rivers, lakes or ponds. The supply may serve one or more properties.
New regulations have come into force under the Private Water Supply Regulations 2009. The regulations impose new monitoring duties and require the local authority to carry out a risk assessment on specific areas of the supply; further information about the council's responsibilities and charges.
