Dear Sir or Madam,

I'd be grateful if you could please tell me:

1) Do you test for bacteriophages in tap water?

2) If the answer to 1) is 'yes', which types of bacteriophage have
been found and in what quantities e.g. ppm?

Yours faithfully,

Mike Jozefiak

Thank you for your enquiry relating to bacteriophages in water. We do
not undertake any testing for bacteriophages in tap water. However we
do ensure that all our water is fully treated so as to be disinfected
and free from pathogens; we test for various indicator organisms from
raw sources, treatment works, storage tanks and from customers at
random, following the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000 (as
amended 2007), to prove the efficacy of our treatment processes and that
our water is safe to drink.
