Water Monitoring
General Water Monitoring & Hygiene
It is important to ensure that your water system is operating efficiently and hygienically as if this is overlooked you and the personnel around you could be exposed to harmful levels of E.coli or chlorine in your drinking water. Most establishments are covered by WaterCorp however more remote sites such as the mining sites in Northern WA must have their drinking water systems sampled and risk assessed to ensure water is not contaminated.
What is Legionella?
Legionella is a common organism that can be found in low concentrations in drinking water. However, due to Australia’s climate Legionella can multiply in both warm and cold water systems. Depending on your state, it is either mandatory or recommended that samples be taken every 3 months along with an annual risk assessment to ensure that your water system is not contaminated. High risk establishments are often hotels, hospitals and care facilities that have large water or air conditioning systems.
