Water Safety Plans
Helping You Keep People Safe
If you manage a commercial property, a large estate or host public events, making sure your private water supply is safe is a legal requirement. But more than that, it’s about keeping people safe.
Under the Private Water Supplies Regulations, all private water supplies – except single private dwellings – must undergo risk assessments by the local authority. It’s your responsibility to make sure your private water supply is wholesome and free from physical, chemical or microbiological hazards.
At Springhill, we build complete water safety plans to make sure your water supply is compliant, reliable, and safe. We don't just assess the risks; we create the blueprint for managing them and help you do just that, meaning you can focus on running your business.

What's included
What’s in a Water Safety Plan?
Detailed site mapping
A clear layout of the supply, showing all sources (boreholes, wells, etc.), pipelines, storage tanks, and treatment systems, as well as the properties supplied.
System risk assessment
A thorough evaluation of each part of your supply to determine if it is fit for purpose and capable of handling normal and emergency situations. We identify any potential hazards to water quality and safety.
Maintenance & management protocols
Clear documentation outlining what maintenance is needed, who is responsible for carrying it out and when. This includes routine checks to make sure the supply and equipment have no issues.
Emergency & contingency planning
Step-by-step actions detailing what to do if the system breaks down, there is a loss of power or the water becomes contaminated. We also outline alternative sources of water in an emergency.
Compliance with local authorities
We make sure your plan aligns with the requirements enforced by local authorities and Environmental Health, giving you complete confidence during inspections and assessments.
