a sample for any such parameter or any other chemical parameter must—

(i)

be a random daytime sample of one litre volume; or

(ii)

use a fixed stagnation time method that better reflects the national situation, provided that, at the water supply zone level, this does not result in fewer cases of non-compliance than using the random daytime method; and
