If you are a drinking-water supplier and the drinking-water standards are breached, you have a duty to take remedial action. This means you must do something to fix the problem so the water is safe to drink. The law says you must take action if the drinking-water standards are not met, but this particular part of the law has been repealed, which means it is no longer in effect, as of 15 November 2021, due to section 206(1) of the Water Services Act 2021.
