Water Hygiene Contracts - Legionella Control
Delivered by DS Water
Bespoke Water Hygiene Contracts to Keep You Compliant and Protected
At DS Water, we provide tailored water hygiene contracts that help organisations across the UK manage their Legionella control responsibilities with confidence. Our team supports healthcare providers, housing associations, schools, and commercial facilities to ensure legal compliance and safeguard public health.
Why Legionella Control is Essential
Legionella bacteria can develop in water systems where water is stored or recirculated—especially in hot and cold water systems, tanks, taps, showers, and cooling towers. If not properly managed, these systems can become breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease.
Under UK law—including the Health and Safety at Work Act, ACOP L8, and HSG274—those responsible for premises must identify, assess, and control Legionella risks.
What’s Included in a DS Water Hygiene Contract
Every site has different needs, so we design each contract around your assets, system complexity, and service frequency. Core services typically include:
✅ Legionella Risk Assessments – Identifying hazards and outlining a clear plan of control.
✅ Temperature Monitoring – Monthly temperature checks on outlets, stored water, and returns.
✅ Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) – Regular servicing of assets such as TMVs, calorifiers, water tanks, and sentinel points.
✅ Water Sampling & Testing – UKAS-accredited testing for Legionella, TVCs, and Pseudomonas.
✅ System Flushing & Disinfection – Chlorination of tanks and pipework where required.
✅ Digital Reporting – Instant access to service records, test results, and asset history through our digital logbook system.
