How pure is Londons tap water?
The design and operation of Thames Water’s drinking water treatment process are fundamental to ensure London’s water is pure. Constantly monitoring these processes helps Thames Water ensure the water leaving its treatment works meets quality standards. The DWI’s most recently published figures, for the year 2008, published in July 2009, show that we continue to supply exceptionally high-quality water, with 99.99 per cent of all tests meeting UK and European standards. This is amongst the highest in the UK.
