What Is Risk Assessment & What’s Involved?

Risk assessment is a condition check for your private water supply. It means looking at the source of the supply and the surrounding area to see what could go wrong with it and contaminate the supply.

It also involves checking the storage tanks, any treatment systems and the pipe work. While sampling can suggest what impurities may occur, risk assessment sets out to identify the actual or potential causes so that suitable actions can be taken to sort them out and therefore prevent the situation from getting worse or even starting in the first place.

Risk assessment will bring benefits such as a better knowledge of your private water supply system and improved drinking water quality for you, your family and visitors to your home or business.
