The present regional Act by the government of Vienna governs the delivery and use of water from Vienna’s public water supply system. It mandates connection of buildings to public water lines, guarantees access to safe drinking water (though without guarantees on specific pressure or quality), and protects the municipal water infrastructure from privatization or reduction. The law outlines responsibilities and rights of water consumers and the city, including liability, restrictions during shortages, information transparency, installation and maintenance of water meters, and regulation of fees. It prohibits unauthorized connections and mandates compliance with technical standards. Violations may lead to fines or service suspension, while the city retains oversight and enforcement authority. The text consists of 30 articles.
