About the consultation
We’re inviting views from Dartford Borough Council tenants and leaseholders on our draft Water Safety Management Plan and Policy.
The Plan and Policy sets out the Council’s approach to the control of Legionella bacteria in hot and cold water systems. Legionella bacterium is commonly found in water which means maintaining a hygienic water supply is important to reduce and control the risk of Legionella.
The Plan and Policy aims to ensure that anyone who lives in or visits buildings owned by the Council will be safe from the risks associated with Legionella bacteria. This applies to all residential buildings, all leaseholder properties where the Council is the designated freeholder, and all residential premises associated with the operated properties.
If you have any comments on the policy, we’d like to hear from you. Please see the section on how to give your views to tell us what you think.
