There are some very effective filtration systems available. I know a bloke who has been filtering river water for all his needs on a residential boat for about 20 years. Two kids and misses on boat. Kids still on boat as adults. All the water from the River.
CRT were quick on the uptake. The water board inspected my residential mooring (CRT owned mooring) and one of the residents had a letter from water board mentioning legal action as they had a direct connected supply to their boat without the correct fittings.
I top mine up with a disconnected hose not a permanent fitting so not a problem but they did not like the direct connection thing at all. Not good.
It's obviously not good anyway as you can sink the boat but it does sometimes get done.
No fizzer for the EA, its management has Teflon shoulders. The EA is notoriously slow to implement new legislation and often does it poorly. These regs were laid down in 2016 if memory serves.
It was the same with legionella inspections at lock sites, that was 8 years late being implemented.
