The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) has launched a Safe Water campaign to raise consumers’ awareness on issues such as Legionella, plumbing misconnections, and hot water scalding.
There is now information in the consumer section of the CIPHE website which covers a wide area of topics that will be of interest to landlords, gardeners, people looking after children or elderly relatives, and those thinking about building extensions or changes to their plumbing systems.
The CIPHE points out that most people living in the UK don’t give a second thought about ‘safe’ water – they turn on the tap and take for granted that clean water will be dispensed. The water may be wholesome when it arrives into the property from the mains, but what happens to it afterwards may be a completely different story.
The Safe Water campaign is designed to inform the public and encourage them to use a professional plumber when it comes to work in their homes.
