<strong>Private Water Supplies:</strong> For those who extract their private water supply

from boreholes.</p><p>

<strong>Bathing waters:</strong> to include swimming pools at leisure centres, Jacuzzi's,

hydrotherapy pools.</p><p>
|

<strong>Mains Water: </strong>To include Manufacturers of foods and drinks as well as occasionally

looking at domestic supply.</p><h3>Details</h3><h4>Private Water Supplies</h4><p>We have a number of domestic and commercial private water supplies where we are the responsible authority for monitoring their quality both microbiologically
|
|
(bacteria) and chemically (e.g. pesticides).</p><p>The legislation we use is made under the Water Industry Act 1991 and is called
|
|
the Private Water Supplies Regulations 1991.</p><p>This tells us what the standards of the water should be and how often we have to
|
|
test the water depending upon its use.</p><h4>Bathing Waters</h4><p>We are responsible for checking the quality of all our swimming pools to include leisure centres, private health clubs, hotels and out door pools, hospital hydrotherapy pools, Jacuzzi's and paddling pools.</p><p>We check these on a monthly basis for chemical levels as well as yearly for microbiological
|
|
quality (bacteria) unless there is a complaint or a problem with the chemical tests,
|
|
in which case the frequency will be increased.</p><h4>Mains Water Supply</h4><p>We also examine the quality of the mains water in our food manufacturers to include
|
|
breweries and other food industries. We may occasionally become involved in the
|
|
testing of domestic mains water in addition to the statutory water undertaker.</p><p>In addition, the <strong>
