To obtain a written analytical analysis it is necessary to send a written request. Some municipalities enclose it to the water bill periodically, to reinsure citizens on the quality of their drinking water and on the frequency of controls, that are quite often and severe.
The Decree 236 of May 1988 states the quality requirements for water meant for human consumption, as ward ship of public health and for improvement of life style.
Paradoxically, the law imposes a complete analysis every 5 years to the producers of bottled water. It imposes some periodical partial controls as well, but these controls can be decided by the producer. For further information on water purification steps click here.

Household water treatment systems
|
For some years small plants to be installed in houses for the production of treated and perfectly mineralised water from tap water have been proposed on the market.
The benefits of these systems come from the fact that they use neither chemicals, nor ozone and UV, which tends to destroy and enrich water. These systems use physical processes such as reverse osmosis and filtration. These systems allow to reach a high physical purification, optimising and balancing the amount of minerals that should be present in the water we drink.
The treated water is usually delivered only in one point, i.e. kitchen tap.
The replacement of bottle water with water purified using these systems allows an economical benefit due to money saving from bottle water and an environmental benefit, due to waste and transportation reduction. |  |
