    Water pipe chlorination certificates

    It’s their bolt and braces approach, passing liability on to us, they dont care about the viability There were some fairly heated email exchanges my end, I asked them why they hadn’t replaced all of their infrastructure that’s not as deep and in roads which has far more risk of contamination...

    Water pipe chlorination certificates

    Had similar with Thames water ref barrier pipe. The difference in price was a hefty 6 figure sum. I managed to dispute the need by having soil samples taken, may be a bit late for you but if others read this it’s worth doing!

    RHI System Heat Meters .
