Water services you need to keep your building healthy
Water Hygiene
Water systems are integral to most domestic and commercial environments. Efficient operation of these systems is essential to minimising running costs and maintaining compliance, particularly with regard to the control of Legionella bacteria.
Neglected water tanks and systems are high-risk areas for the proliferation of bacteria, as they thrive in contaminated, stagnant conditions. When water droplets from these sources are disseminated and breathed-in, this can result in the spread of Legionnaires’ Disease.
Legionella Guidance and Legislation
Guidance on controlling Legionella bacteria in water systems, ACoP L8, HSG 274, HPSC and BS8558 covers the need for routine monitoring and cleaning of all potential risk systems. Visit our resource centre for further information about your responsibilities under legislation.
