Water Hygiene and Shower head cleaning
In Faraday will take place week commencing 2nd July 2018 from 9am daily.
Two Lancaster University engineers will require access to kitchens and shared bathrooms to test hot water temperatures. The engineers will not test every kitchen/bathroom just a sample from different locations within the building. This brief survey will take approximately five minutes, and is to ensure that the hot water is maintained at the correct temperature to prevent any instances of legionella. There will be no shutdown of service.
Lancaster University appointed engineers will require access to bathrooms to remove shower heads for cleaning to prevent the build-up of materials and bacteria as well as to ensure their effective operation. This will take approximately 5 minutes per shower head.
If you have any queries regarding the timing of the work please contact Facilities Helpdesk as soon as possible, facilities.helpdesk@lancaster.ac.uk 01524 593333
