What is the EU 98 83 EC Directive? This Directive concerns the quality of water intended for human consumption. 2. The objective of this Directive shall be to protect human health from the adverse effects of any contamination of water intended for human consumption by ensuring that it is wholesome and clean.Oct 27, 2015 eur-lex.europa.eu › PDF B COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on ... - EUR-Lex Now the UK can pour as much shite unto its water as it wants to. Especially as the directive has been updated un 2021. The recast Drinking Water Directiveis the EU's main law on drinking water. It concerns the access to and the quality of water intended for human consumption to protect human health. The EU adopted the recast Drinking Water Directive in December 2020 and the Directive entered into force in January 2021. environment.ec.europa.eu › ... Drinking water - Language selection | Environment - European Union Or more generally Citizens, nature and industry all need healthy rivers and lakes, groundwater and bathing waters. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) focuses on ensuring good qualitative and quantitative health, i.e. on reducing and removing pollution and on ensuring that there is enough water to support wildlife at the same time as human needs. Since 2000, the WFD has been the main law for water protection in Europe. It applies to inland, transitional and coastal surface waters as well as groundwaters. It ensures an integrated approach to water management, respecting the integrity of whole ecosystems, including by regulating individual pollutants and setting corresponding regulatory standards. It is based on a river basin district approach to make sure that neighbouring countries cooperate to manage the rivers and other bodies of water they share. environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/water/water-framework-directive_en |

The point my dear is that they have been ignored.

Overpopulation is adding to the strain on the sewer system, much of which was installed in Victorian times. That and storms means an overflow happens more regularly.
When the same problems were happening whilst we were in the EU remoaners didn't say a fucking thing about it, but it was happening.
It happened during the Somerset floods.
And those floods were made worse by EU anti dredging policies

The press is full of examples of the disastrous condition of UK water.
Ilso now it MAY cost the consumer higher water bill prices for...up to 100 years.
If the UK had not ignored EU law for 25 years it would not leave grandchildren paying again for the water you already paid for.
I dont give a toss about the reasons for the fiasco. And if nothinf much has been done since Victoria, you should hang your head in shame.
Anyway you are now sovereign and ignored EU directive.
Just be sure to stay out of the water.

I have seen lots of stories about dumping sewage in rivers and seas but I have seen nothing about contaminated drinking water - hence the request for a link.
With regards to dumping sewage in rivers and seas, that is a Europe wide problem which I'm sure you would be aware of living in France.

He still hasn’t shown any evidence that English drinking water contains sewerage. Doesn’t stop him repeating it though |

(2001) Hoping to "name and shame" countries into implementing a 10-year-old EU water treatment law, the Commission has listed 37 large cities that dump sewage directly into rivers. Brussels and Milan were among the towns with populations larger than 150,000 polluting rivers and seas with raw sewage, according to the Commission — the EU's executive arm. Topping the Commission's list of countries with the most large cities pumping raw sewage into the waters were Britain, Spain, Portugal and Italy. Germany and France have not yet supplied data indicating how many of their cities pollute. The North, Baltic and Adriatic seas were all suffering to a ''worrying'' degree from excessive sewage, the Commission said. www.wwdmag.com/home/news/10916436/european-union-names-member-cities-dumping-sewageAnd 20 year later - Europe’s cities are struggling to keep untreated sewage out of their rivers... www.euronews.com/green/2021/09/04/swimming-in-sewage-how-can-we-fix-europe-s-smelly-rivers |

The point my dear is that they have been ignored. Where? Got a link to cases of this drinking water regulation being ignored? Will you stop extracting parts of my post for your benefit?? Read the OP again. It refers to lakes, rivers and other watercourses. One more dishonest response to the OP. If the UK had followed the directive and stopped paying out to private foreign shareholders, your water bills which should have gone to years of repairs and will now once again go to repairs via higher bills, the UK would be 25 years into the renewal of Victoria's sewage by the obeyance of the EU directive. So much for UK sovereignty. |

I guess the whole issue would not arise if no immigration occurred since Vistoria's sewege system was established. Fekking hell. You now blame ignoring legal requirements and lining the pockets of shareholders instead of investing in necessary water treatment on population growth??? Ie reality?  And of COURSE the problem was about EU antidredging. Which has absolutely nothing to do with diverting sewage into open water courses used by people. |

www.angloinfo.com/how-to/france/housing/maintenance-diy/wastewater-treatmentNothing to do with dredging or population. The UK just ignored the directive, paid its shareholders and is now asking the population to pay again. If this is sovereignty, it is shite. We treat sewage on individual properties through septic tanks or local community treatment plants. We do NOT discharge untreated water into public spaces. It is illegal. But maybe the UK thought sovereignty was more important.

One of the many brilliant British Victorian engineers who made a tiny country in the NE Atlantic a global superpower who controlled a quarter of the world and had influence in the rest of it, and came to the rescue of Europe, twice. |

THERE SHOULD NEVER BE RAW SEWAGE IN A MODERN CCOUNTRY.
It should be treated either on the property via septic tanks or in small communities. As per EU directives.
I dont give a toss about where victoria's turds went.
