Water Testing and Legionella Control for Local Authorities
The water authority's responsibility of water finishes at the stop cock to a managed premises . From there on in, it is up you, the local authority, to ensure that the water on the premises is safe.
This includes water for drinking and water for supplying toilets, basins and sinks around the property.
Legionella control for local authorities and management of the systems can vary depending on the structure of the building and the way the water systems have been designed.
The assessment of risk of any situation is the responsibility of the management; it is a legal responsibility and a means of assessing at risk situations. A solution to establish if the water systems are in a good state of health is undertaking a water hygiene risk assessment or legionella risk assessment. The aim is to identify how to reduce the risks within the building and then set up a legionella control and water testing regime by which the systems are maintained.
Water within an old building can come into contact with old pipe work which can be lead or rotting galvanised steel. This results in water quality issues and if lead levels are too high, potential health issues. The analysis of the water can establish the levels of these toxic metals and so identify the extent of the problem.
Swimming pools or hydrotherapy pools are bodies of continually circulating water into which a myriad of pollution is introduced and as a result the management of them is extremely important.
