Domestic water
Water safety in buildings, published by the World Health Organization in 2011, defines domestic water as:
- Water used for all usual domestic purposes, including consumption, bathing and food preparation (WHO, 2008).
- Pertaining to municipal (household) water services as opposed to commercial and industrial water. The term is sometimes used to include the commercial component (Symons et al., 2000).
- Water that is delivered for normal personal use within a household, school or commercial premises (World Plumbing Council, 2008).
