This bill would require the Chief Inspector of Drinking Water to issue guidance to water companies about PFAS (poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances) in drinking water. It is a narrow measure that focuses on guidance rather than changing any legal limits, aiming to help water suppliers understand PFAS issues and communicate them to customers.
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons, with the first reading having taken place on 5 November 2024. If it progresses, it would move to subsequent stages for consideration.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
