We provide end-to-end compliance: risk assessments, water testing, system monitoring, flushing regimes and full documentation – all handled by expertly-qualified water safety specialists.

Why Riverside Environmental Services are your choice for water hygiene

Why do I need to act on water risk?

Legionella bacteria can develop in hot- and cold-water systems – especially when water flow is irregular, poorly stored, or not properly monitored.

The risks of not acting can include:

  • Legionnaires’ disease — potentially fatal and entirely preventable
  • Reputational and legal risk
  • Non-compliance with ACOP L8 and HSG274
  • HSE investigation and penalties
  • Duty-of-care breaches for landlords and employers

If you manage water systems, tanks, showers, taps, cooling towers or TMVs (thermostatic mixing valves), you are legally responsible.
We can help you identify and manage risks, finding a timely, safe resolution.
