(6) In the event of non-compliance with a parameter that has an indicator function, the Member State concerned should assess whether that non-compliance poses any risk to human health and, where necessary, take remedial action to restore the quality of the waterbe bound to determine the cause thereof, to assess the level of the risk to human health including in the long-term and the possibilities for intervention and, on the basis of these findings, take action to ensure the water supply complies with the quality criteria laid down in this directive as soon as possible. This necessary remedial action may go as far as shutting down the facility concerned if the quality of water requires such action. Priority should be given to action which rectifies the problem at source. Consumers should be informed immediately of the risks, the measures already taken by the authorities and the time necessary for the remedial action to take effect.

Updated information regarding areas at risk from potential sources of radioactive contamination, as well as regional water quality, shall be made available to consumers at all times by local administrations.

Article 6 - paragraph 1
Member States shall ensure regular and accurate monitoring of water intended for human consumption in accordance with Annex II in order to check that the concentrations of radioactive substances do not exceed the parametric values laid down in accordance with Article 5. Monitoring shall take account of the long-term cumulative exposure of the population and shall be conducted as part of the checks referred to in Article 7 of Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of drinking water intended for human consumption. It shall include reference analyses aimed at establishing the radioactive content of the water and optimising the analysis strategy and periodic analyses in accordance with the methods set out in Annex III. The monitoring frequency for periodic analyses may be adapted through a risk- based approach, based on the results of reference analyses which shall be mandatory in all cases. In such cases, Member States shall communicate both the grounds for their decision and the results of the reference analyses concerned to the Commission and make them available to the public.

Article 9 - paragraph 2
2. Where there is a failure to comply with the parametric values laid defined for radown in accordance with Article 5 occurs, the Member State shall assess whetand for the total indicative dose (TID) from natural sources, the Member State shall immediately assess the level of the risk to human health and the possibilities for intervention, taking into account the local conditions. On the basis of these findings, the Member State shall take action to ensure the water supply complies with the quality criteria laid down in this directive. Where there is a failure poses a risk to human health. In the event that there is such a risk, the Member State shall take remedial action to restore the quality of the water. to comply with the parametric values defined for tritium and for the TID originating from human activities, the Member State shall ensure that the investigation which is to be launched immediately establishes the nature, scale and dosimetric impact of the pollution. That investigation shall take into account all the environments liable to be affected and all exposure pathways. The Member State shall ensure that the necessary corrective action is taken to ensure that the water again meets the parametric values. Solutions should be centred on tackling the pollution at source. The necessary remedial action may go as far as shutting down the facility concerned if the water quality requires such action. The Member State shall ensure that the costs of remedial action are borne by the polluter.

Article 9 - paragraph 3
3. Where the risk to human health cannot be regarded as trivial, the Member State shall ensure that consumers are notified. Member States shall ensure that the results of the analyses performed pursuant to Article 8 are published, made publicly available as soon as possible and included in the reports required under Article 13 of Directive 98/83/EC. Where the risk to human health cannot be regarded as trivial, the Member State, together with the responsible actor(s), shall ensure that consumers are alerted immediately and given complete information related to the risk to human health and on how to cope with the problems encountered, which shall be published and made available on the internet as soon as possible. They shall also ensure that alternative uncontaminated water supplies are provided without delay.
