taking away our water as punishment for brexit > the safety of tap water in the uk could be at risk because water companies are unable to use products to clean it > people in the industry have called it a brexit problem because eu countries will share laboratory capacity from 2026, meaning that if the uk was still in the eu, water companies would be able to use products that passed tests on the continent. > laboratories have to be regulation 31 certified, meaning they carry out all the tests on chemicals, pipes or other items to a certain standard.  > there used to be three such laboratories in the uk, but since 2021 there have been none as they all shut down because they are expensive to run.
