The question of whether or not to have your water tested is a serious one that
concerns the health of you, your staff, visitors to your building or your
family if you are a domestic customer. Water supplied from the town mains
supply will normally be of good quality which is clean and safe to drink. Town mains water will normally be suitable for most
household uses.
However, in addition to obvious illness, a variety of less serious problems such
as taste, color, odor and staining of clothes or fixtures are symptoms of poor
water quality. Whilst water may appear to be visibly clean it may not necessarily be safe or
acceptable.
It will normally be unnecessary, impractical and far too expensive to test for
all possible contaminants in your water. However, there are a number of common
contaminants that can be cost effectively monitored to provide clear
demonstration of due care a diligence whilst also offering some protection to
you, your staff and your family if you are a domestic customer.
