Adequate Water System Control

The periodic sampling and testing of water sources from man-made systems for the presence of legionella bacteria is a valuable means of demonstrating that adequate control over such a water system is being achieved.
The regular analysis of water samples from your taps which are suspected of being contaminated with bacteria is an important tool, used to identify possible sources of risk within a water system & in monitoring known problems. 

Regular Monitoring and the Routine Inspection of water systems

The UK's Health & Safety Executive (HSE) in their Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8, "Legionnaires' disease. The control of legionella bacteria in water systems" state that:
“ … Periodic sampling and testing for the presence of legionella bacteria may also be relevant to show that adequate control is being achieved. However, reliably detecting the presence of legionella bacteria is technically difficult and requires specialist laboratory facilities.”
Paragraph 68. HSE "ACOP L8".

Serogroup Identification

Qualified microbiological laboratories are experienced in the detection of legionella bacteria and, using specialist techniques they are able to identify specific serogroups in individual samples.
