Details

Individual communes must control the quality of their drinking water by law, and are supposed to publish water quality bulletins; the actual level of openness varies vastly. In the best case, the website of the cummune contains a PDF that can be a couple of months old, and usually forbids reuse, e.g. http://www.topographie.lu/global_data/pdf/eaux/wasseranalysen_komplett/ZONE2_C_d431c5cc-3484-45ad-870d-c23e9bcc5639.pdf

It is unknown whether all communes even digitalise their water quality bulletins.
