Description
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), through the
Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), a unit within DAERA, has a statutory responsibility for
private water supplies under the Water and Sewerage Services Order (Northern Ireland)
2006. This is implemented through The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern
Ireland) 2017 which requires a sampling and analysis programme to be put in place and
maintained for all private water supplies registered under these regulations (Regulations 9 -

Therefore DWI requires a Supplier to undertake the collection, transportation, analysis and
