Goals
Responsibilities
RAAEY ensures that water service providers operate with transparency, responsibility, and for the benefit of citizens.
Our main responsibilities include the following:
The Water Sector of RAAEY shapes the operational framework for water supply providers, making decisions that reinforce transparency and advance the quality of water services.
When rules are violated, RAAEY intervenes through regulatory oversight mechanisms and enforces sanctions to safeguard legality and ensure consumer protection.
The Water Sector actively participates in policy-making, submitting proposals and recommendations for the improvement of the regulatory framework and the operating procedures of water services providers.
Through its actions, which range from data collection to international collaboration, RAAEY contributes to the enhancement of knowledge and forward planning in the water sector.
The water footprint for a resident of Greece may reach up to 6,400 litres of water per day.

Drinking Water
Quality & Daily Consumption
RAAEY coordinates with other state agencies to secure consumers’ rights to safe and adequate supplies of drinking water.
Our obligation is to implement nationwide standardised procedures that follow regulatory standards in order to secure the supply of safe drinking water throughout the country, for large cities, the islands, rural areas, and the remotest communities.
In its natural state, water is rarely of a quality suitable for human consumption. Ensuring the required quality for drinking water depends not only on the specific stages of processing, but also on maintaining proper conditions throughout the distribution and supply systems.
Societies everywhere around the world need safe and adequate supplies of drinking water, whether in urban centres, rural areas, or island communities.
Water plays a vital role in people’s lives, across all sectors from health to the economy. Maintaining and supporting good water quality protects not only public health, but the future of our water resources in general.
The water we consume must be safe for human health.
RAAEY ensures that all standards and rules for the protection of consumers and of the environment are complied with.
Consumers are able to make initial assessments of the water they drink based on sensory characteristics such as taste, odour, and turbidity (cloudiness).
Did you know that all of the water supplied to your home, whether it comes from your kitchen sink, shower, or an outdoor tap, is drinkable water?
Modern standards governing the quality of drinking water demand the application of rigorous treatment processes adapted to the characteristics of the water source.
