The Legal Situation

Private water supplies are regulated by local authorities using the Private Water Supply (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Water (Scotland) Act 1980.

All private water supplies are required to be registered with the local authority where the source of the supply is located.

You can check the entry for your property in the register by contacting your local authority environmental health service. You can find their details in this section of the website on the page called: Local Authority Contacts
