Safe management of water systems

It is very important that buildings are made safe to use before they reopen. The safe management of water systems is the responsibility of the builder manager or landlord.

If a buildings has been closed or unused then the water system should be recommissioned and a Legionella Control Plan should be followed.

When recommissioning a water system within a building of any kind we recommend following a planned Legionella Control Programme. We specialise in the recommissioning of water systems following building closures.

Who is responsible for the water system within a building?

The building duty holder and/or building manager is responsible for ensuring the water system is safe and compliant.

Legionella Risk in Unused Buildings

As the UK recovers from the global pandemic we will see an increase in the need for recommissioning when buildings have been unused, closed or have had reduced capacity.

It is extremely important that as a bear minimum the water system is flushed through at all outlets within the building.
