-Water supply testing

The majority of Hambleton's drinking water is supplied by a major water company. Mains water is treated and regularly checked for compliance with strict standards to protect the public. However there are a lot of homes that rely on water coming from springs, wells and boreholes. Private supplies do not get any form of treatment and can contain contamination from grazing animals, particularly where the water comes from a spring.

Some of these supplies are used by food businesses and campsites. To ensure that residents and visitors are not made ill by poor water environmental health officers check the bacteriological and chemical quality of these supplies. Where there are problems that could give rise to illness advice is given on adequate treatment and where necessary action is taken to ensure that it is provided. If you have concerns about the water you are drinking the please contact the council on 0845 1211 555.
