Provided are a method and an apparatus for producing pure water in which water that has been subjected to an ultraviolet oxidation treatment performed with an ultraviolet oxidation device is brought into contact with a platinum-group metal catalyst, the method and apparatus eliminating the likelihood of the catalyst being degraded and enabling decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to be performed for a prolonged period of time in a consistent manner. Water-to-be-treated is subjected to an ultraviolet oxidation treatment performed with an ultraviolet oxidation device and subsequently subjected to a hydrogen peroxide removal treatment performed with a hydrogen peroxide removal device including a platinum-group metal catalyst. The TOC concentration in water fed to the ultraviolet oxidation device is 5 ppb or less. An anion exchange resin tower is installed in a stage following the ultraviolet oxidation device.
