"At Litton Cheney we have just opened our brand new hall and needless to say we are rather proud of it, having waited several decades for one to appear. The hall is adjacent to the village school to enable cross usage and we have installed ground source heating for which we received a 100% grant.

Legionnaires Disease

I am amazed to learn one of our halls as been advised to have their water system checked for the presence of the Legionella bacteria that causes Legionnaires Disease. 

  • Have any other halls been advised to do this?
  • If so, who by?
  • Can you recommend anyone who can do this inspection?

All contributions to this post topic gratefully accepted.

Thanks
