Potable water for households, schools, commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants and similar uses must be safe, clean, clear and potable. Potable water must come from collection of rainwater, desalination of seawater or extraction of freshwater from the groundwater. Potable water also may be produced by private desalination units operated using seawater or
brackish water. Household gutters and storage tanks must be cleaned periodically to ensure they do not harbour rodents, mosquitoes or pathogenic bacteria. Water transport trucks, tanks and pipelines must be kept clean and should be disinfected periodically to ensure they do not contaminate the water.
