In the case of public water supply, the municipal water suppliers or water supply companies are responsible for supplying or providing consumers with safe drinking water. In accordance with legal requirements,
no pathogens or harmful substances may be present in drinking water in dangerous quantities.
Note: Drinking water can also be contaminated within the building water supply system. In this case, the homeowner or landlord is responsible for compliance with the quality requirements for drinking water and the regulations for operating the water distribution system.
This also applies with regard to any necessary renovation of the pipework.
Changes in the taste, odour or colour of the water can be indications of contamination.
If you have the impression that your drinking water may be contaminated, you should report it.
The water supplier or water supply company or the operator of the building's water supply system must investigate the problem, for example by testing the drinking water.
In the case of justified complaints, the local health authority can also arrange for an official drinking water test.

Tap water in Germany is of drinking water quality. You can drink it without hesitation. Make sure that the water has not "stood" in the tap for more than about 4 hours. In the morning in particular, you should let the water run for a while until it comes out of the tap consistently cool. As a precaution, you should also only drink cold water or use it to prepare food and heat the water if necessary, for example using a kettle. Certain substances that pass from the pipe material into the water are mainly found in hot water, but not to any significant extent in cold water.
