Quality of drinking water in the Basque Country in 2004

The quality of drinking water in the Basque Country is closely monitored by the Department of Health of the Basque Government and by the owners of the supply systems through the control and surveillance units (UCV). UCVs are the entities authorized by the Department of Health to develop and execute supply control and management programs. These control programs include, in addition to water analysis, preventive measures and maintenance of the facilities.
