6. Member States may exempt water suppliers supplying between 10 and 100 m3 per day as an average or serving between 50 and 500 people from the requirement to carry out risk assessment and risk management of the supply system, provided that the competent authority is satisfied that such an exemption would not compromise the quality of water intended for human consumption.
In the event of such an exemption, the exempted water suppliers shall carry out regular monitoring in accordance with Article 13.
