A water quality detection system for distributed water supply network. The system, 1, comprises a multiplicity of detectors, 5, wherein each detector of the detectors is capable of monitoring at least one attribute of water and providing a signal related to the attribute. A controller, 7, is provided which is capable of receiving each signal and comparing the signal to a control signal for the attribute. A response mechanism, 9, is responsive to the controller and activated when at least one signal matches the control signal. An access gate, 10, limits access to at least one of the detector, the controller or the response mechanism. An access key, 13, is provided for comparing a user attribute with a stored attribute wherein when the user attribute matches the stored attribute access is provided into the access gate. |
