CWST/ Tank Clean And Chlorination
Neglected water tanks are extremely high risk areas for the spread of disease, as Legionella bacteria can breed where conditions in such water systems are allowed to deteriorate. It is a requirement of ACoP L8 that they are inspected and most importantly cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis to prevent sediment/sludge build up which can act as a nutrient, helping bacterial contamination and growth. This procedure is also needed if falling into any of the following categories;
- When Risk Assessment or inspection findings deem it necessary
- If the water system, or part of it is substantially altered or has been entered for maintenance purposes where contamination is possible.
- During or following an outbreak or suspected outbreak of Legionellosis
Upon completion of works, a chlorination certificate will be issued.
