Do I need water hygiene services in Wales?

Whether or not you need water testing in Wales will depend on your site and how it is used. You may need water sampling if:

• Your building is used or occupied by vulnerable people (e.g. care homes, hospitals and schools)

• Your water comes from a private supply, including a borehole or well

• Concerns have been raised about the taste, odour or appearance of your water

• Recommended during your Legionella risk assessment

• Required by a client, local authority or regulator

While not always a legal requirement, routine water testing helps ensure a safe environment and is part of a proactive water hygiene management plan.

What happens after the water hygiene check?

Samples from your site will be collected and delivered to a UKAS-accredtied laboratory for analysis. After testing, we’ll issue you with a certificate of results and provide guidance and support for any remedial actions.
