Tap water meets high standards

SCOTLAND'S independent water regulator has said the nation's tap water is of the highest quality ever.

More than 300,000 tests were carried out at water treatment works, service reservoirs and customers' taps in an annual report to check Scottish Water meets high quality standards.

Figures show 99.84% of samples from taps met the criteria, the firm's best performance yet.
