Water Hygiene & Legionella Control for Penrith premises
Commercial property in Penrith includes schools, nurseries and colleges, farm and rural business conversions and industrial estates and trade counters. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
In Penrith, buildings with low occupancy or seasonal use need particular care because little-used outlets raise Legionella risk.
What water hygiene and legionella control covers
Water hygiene is the control of Legionella and other bacteria in a building's hot and cold water systems. It starts with a Legionella risk assessment, followed by a written scheme of monthly temperature checks, flushing of little-used outlets and periodic cleaning.

- Logbook kept up to date for inspections
- Monthly sentinel tap temperature monitoring
- Tank inspections, cleaning and disinfection
