Article R2224-22-5 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

When it appears that the protection of the public drinking water distribution network against any risk of pollution is not guaranteed by the structure or internal installations inspected, the inspection report sets out the nature of the risks observed and sets out the measures to be taken by the customer within a specified period.

In this case, the inspection report is also sent to the mayor of the municipality concerned.

At the end of the period set by the report, the service may organise a new inspection visit and, if the prescribed measures have not been carried out, after a formal notice has remained without effect, close the drinking water connection.

Article R2224-22-5

Lorsqu’il apparaît que la protection du réseau public de distribution d’eau potable contre tout risque de pollution n’est pas garantie par l’ouvrage ou les installations intérieures contrôlés, le rapport de visite expose la nature des risques constatés et fixe les mesures à prendre par l’abonné dans un délai déterminé.

Dans ce cas, le rapport de visite est également adressé au maire de la commune concernée.

A l’expiration du délai fixé par le rapport, le service peut organiser une nouvelle visite de contrôle et procéder, si les mesures prescrites n’ont pas été exécutées, après une mise en demeure restée sans effet, à la fermeture du branchement d’eau potable.
