Below is a copy of a paragraph taken from a Legionella risk assessment given to a landlord I work for:
"If the tank is to remain it will need to be brought up to WRAS standards and inspected/cleaned annually which could be more expensive than fitting a new combi boiler."
It is a domestic property with a traditional galvanised tank and un-lagged copper cylinder.
Obviously tenant safety is important but I was hoping that someone on here could clarify if it is now a legal requirement that a landlord must upgrade an older style hot water system .
