Domestic Water Systems
Domestic water systems provide water for drinking, washing and general domestic use. The water quality has to be acceptable in order to prevent risks to health such as Legionella, E.coli infections etc. Water supplied to buildings is generally of a good quality in the United Kingdom but there is a significant potential for deterioration once water is within a building. This can be caused by the presence of dead legs, usage below design for the building, uncovered tanks etc.
