Is Drinking Tap Water Safe in Hungary?
Hungary has comprehensive controls in place to ensure the supply of quality drinking-water, the national public health centre (NNGYK) said on Facebook.

Cecilia Muller, the chief public health officer, on Tuesday met Democratic Coalition (DK) lawmaker Agnes Vadai to respond to her questions regarding the quality of drinking-water in Hungary, the NNGYK said.

Hungary has a comprehensive and continuous system of controls in place to ensure the quality of drinking-water, they said, adding that all water works operated according to a drinking-water safety plan in order to prevent or address any "extraordinary developments should they arise".

Hungary was among the first countries in Europe to introduce drinking-water safety planning at the initiative of internationally-renowned experts, the NNGYK said.

They said Vadai had been shown that Hungary had comprehensive regulations in place for monitoring the quality of drinking-water, and that the relevant authorities "are doing their job".

The NNGYK called on the public to seek information from reliable sources.
