title: [Identification of the party responsible for restoring the water quality according to the German Potable Water Act in buildings belonging to a semiautonomous condominium community].
abstract: When drinking water contaminations occur in installations belonging to a semiautonomous condominium community (Wohnungseigentumsgemeinschaft) and the water installation's final paths being owned by the various condominium owners, the German legal definition of the party responsible has a broad reach. Therefore, authorities should address the condominium community, the condominium owners and the community administrator (WEG-Verwalter).
