Water systems

We carry out a risk assessment on all water systems across the estate to establish how these will be safely managed and to ensure they comply with legal regulations

We also carry out legionella testing and remedial work through our specialist contractor, who provides us with regular reports on our water systems throughout the estate.

SAFETY FIRST

Departments must not carry out any modifications to water systems without formal permission from Estates Services. This is critically important for laboratory systems because of the potential risk of contaminating drinking water supplies.

For advice on any aspect of managing water systems, contact us at estatesbuilding.services@admin.ox.ac.uk

Standing Orders

For general guidance on the split of responsibilities between departments and Estates Services refer to the Standing Orders.
