Water Hygiene FAQs
Yes. Under UK health and safety law (including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974), any person in control of premises has a legal duty to identify and assess the risk of exposure to Legionella. This applies to all businesses, regardless of size, if a water system is present. It should be reviewed at least every two years or whenever there is a significant change to the water system
No, routine monthly sampling is not a legal requirement for most standard hot and cold water systems. Instead, the law requires regular monitoring of temperatures.
A Dead Leg is a length of pipe leading to an outlet that is rarely or never used (like a capped-off sink or a redundant toilet). Because the water inside doesn’t move, it stagnates, loses its temperature, and allows a biofilm (slimy bacterial colony) to grow.
Legionella bacteria thrive between 20°C and 45°C. To keep them dormant or kill them, you must follow the “Hot is Hot, Cold is Cold” rule:
Hot Water Storage: Must be stored at 60°C or higher.
Hot Water Distribution: Must reach outlets (taps/showers) at 50°C or higher within one minute.
Cold Water: Must be stored and distributed below 20°C.
