Recital 2 a (new)
(2 a) according the Communication COM(2015) 614 on the EU action plan for the Circular Economy, the purpose of the Drinking Water Directive is not merely a matter of safe supply of clean drinking water. Considering the strong interlinks with waste water treatment, a holistic revision of both the drinking water Directive and the waste water treatment Directive shall be endeavoured to accelerate the transformation of the water sector into energy neutrality and water resource sustainability, thereby meeting circular economy goals.

Article 13
Access to water intended for human 1. Without prejudice to Article 9 of Directive 2000/60/EC, Member States shall take all necessary measures to improve access for all to water intended for human consumption and promote its use on their territory. This shall include all of the following measures: (a) identifying people without access to water intended for human consumption and reasons for lack of access (such as belonging to a vulnerable and marginalised group), assessing possibilities to improve access for those people and informing them about possibilities of connecting to the distribution network or about alternative means to have access to such water; (b) setting up and maintaining outdoors and indoors equipment for free access to water intended for human consumption in public spaces; (c) promoting water intended for human consumption by: (i) launching campaigns to inform citizens about the quality of such water; (ii) encouraging the provision of such water in administrations and public buildings; (iii) encouraging the free provision of such water in restaurants, canteens, and catering services. 2. On the basis of the information gathered under paragraph 1(a), Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure access to water intended for human consumption for vulnerable and marginalised groups. In case those groups do not have access to water intended for human consumption, Member States shall immediately inform them of the quality of the water they are using and of any action that can be taken to avoid adverse effects on human health resulting from any contamination of that water.rticle 13 deleted consumption
