APSR issues regulation on drinking water quality

Muscat: The Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) on Sunday issued a decision regulating the quality of drinking water.

The decision seeks to preserve the high quality of water sources in Oman, activate operational and administrative determinants of water quality and guarantee the enforcement of the water safety plan by stating the rights, obligations, requirements and approved technical emergency conditions governing licencees and subscribers.

The decision emerges as a major regulatory framework that organises the functioning of companies concerned, following the recent issuance of the Water and Sanitation Regulation Law.
