Legionella Compliance & Water Hygiene – Nottingham

Large student accommodation estates with frequent stagnation risk demand zero tolerance for non-compliance.

Why Nottingham Requires Absolute Compliance

Nottingham's concentration of student accommodation creates unique water safety challenges. With over 60,000 students and extensive PBSA development, seasonal vacancies cause prolonged stagnation periods requiring rigorous management.

Non-compliance risks:

  • HSE prosecution for the Responsible Person
  • Resident safety incidents and reputational damage
  • University partnership termination
  • Insurance invalidation for water-related claims

Full Legionella Compliance (ACOP L8 + HSG274)
