Notification of the supply or use of household water in the water distribution zone

An operator must notify the municipal health protection authority of the supply and use of household water in the water supply zone.

When an operator only supplies household water, it means that they do not have their own water production or treatment. A typical example is a water cooperative that buys household water from elsewhere and supplies it to its partners.

Use of household water means that an operator uses their equipment to abstract household water in order to use it as a part of their public or commercial operations.

Requirements

If the operator is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same notifications as the traders established in Finland.

Instructions

Submit a written notification to the municipal health protection authority.

Payment information

A fee is charged for the service.

Deadline

The notification must be submitted no later than 30 days before the operations are started.
