Water Regs UK has announced the launch of its new guidance online, marking the retirement of the Water Regulations Guide. This is the most significant change in guidance for more than twenty years and aims to provide more accessible, up-to-date information to help everyone comply with the water fittings regulations and byelaws.
These regulations aim to protect drinking water supplies by setting legal requirements for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of plumbing systems.
The decision to replace the Water Regulations Guide with online guidance was taken by water companies and driven by the desire to provide up to date information which can be accessed for free. The new online guidance is available on the Water Regs UK website now: (www.waterregsuk.co.uk/guidance/)
"We’re excited to publish new online guidance, developed in close partnership with water companies," said Julie Spinks, Managing Director at Water Regs UK.
"This provides relevant information to everyone who needs to comply, from installers, building owners to plumbing students, engineers and of course consumers."
Key features of the new online guidance include
Up to date guidance backed by water companies, which can now be regularly reviewed and updated
Free access for everyone to enable a wider reach and greater awareness of safe water systems
Clear distinction between informative guidance about regulatory requirements and more general information which may or may not apply, depending on the situation
The ability to give feedback which will help to identify gaps and drive continuous improvements
