Councils and Local authorities
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.
Private Water Supply Compliance
Supporting Local Authorities & Environmental Health Teams
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.
