I do not know about the UK, but here in this state they are required

tellyou from what source the water is being pulled fron, as there are
a few different sources (mainly deep wells or aquifiers) that are used
and on occassion they sometimes pull water from another water
company.

As far as the UK is concerned (and I'm aware) this information is
available mainly on the Water Company's website - it is not sent out to
consumers unless they request it....this might just be my water provider
though and not a general UK thing. I'm also not sure of the frequency of
the analysis - The last report I can find published for my area on
Drinking Water Quality is for 2005....

So I reckon I'll work on the better safe than sorry approach - even if
stuff does not appear in the report it doesn't mean that there might not
be the odd mishap and a bottle of water conditioner is an awful lot
cheaper than replacing all my livestock....
