Essex & Suffolk Water has a rolling programme of works where we inspect certain types of premises to ensure the water systems meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.
The Regulations play an important role in protecting public health, safeguarding water supplies and promoting the efficient use of water within customers premises. The premises we visit are predominantly, but not restricted to, Fluid Risk Category 4 & 5 properties.
For further information on Fluid Risk Category’s please visit: www.waterregsuk.co.uk
If you feel your premises would benefit from a Planned Inspection please let us know at waterregssouth@eswater.co.uk
