Water quality testing for councils and local authorities

Councils and Environmental Health teams are more stretched than ever, covering large areas of the UK with small teams, limited time and resources. It’s become increasingly difficult to carry out the risk assessments, sampling and monitoring required to meet regulatory obligations for private water supplies. 

At Springhill, we work with local councils, Environmental Health teams and other public bodies, providing a complete service that includes water quality testing, risk assessments, maintenance support, reporting and more for commercial and domestic private water supplies across the UK.

Water testing and reporting to the highest standards 

Our testing, reporting and facilities meet the highest UK standards, helping councils and Environmental Health teams comply with strict government requirements for private water supplies. 

Our water testing experts and on-site laboratory operate to the highest industry standards, including ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation through the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). This ensures every sample is tested, recorded and reported accurately, giving you complete confidence in the results and any recommendations that follow.

“Initially contacted Springhill to advise us on a suitable upgrade to our existing water treatment facility used on our caravan holiday park. Ended up sinking a borehole. The borehole is up and running and the water has been passed by the council.”

Filtration of Borehole Water

In many cases the borehole water will need treating to make it fit for the purpose to which it is going to be used. When putting together an estimate you should expect to pay between £800 to £3,000 for filtration equipment.
