Dr. Tom Ryan:

When it comes to drinking water, in particular, the first thing I need to reiterate is that the quality and standard of drinking water in our public supplies is very high. From a microbiological and chemical perspective, it is in compliance greater than 99.7%. Therefore, it is very important to emphasise that drinking water is safe. What we are primarily talking about here is resilience in this regard, the future performance of plants and their ability to keep performing like this. There are particular issues around THMs and other issues that we continually call out in our reports that require action and investment.
