Thames Water (knocked on my door)

[Callie]

Someone, from Thames Water knocked on my door this morning & asked if they could take a water sample? Is this normal? Not had any info through the door. I'm off Upland Rd, North Cross Rd end. Just wondered if it's happened to anyone else?

I would say it is unusual.

I have seen a team that comes

Round and they take samples from the

Street. They have lots of bottles

And testing kit.

You could call TW to check.

Happened to me last year. It all seemed above board (I didn't leave him out of my sight). Took samples of the water and swabs of the outlets on the taps. Everything was capped and labelled.

Do you live in rented accommodation? There is now a requirement for landlords to test for Legionnaires Disease vulnerability. It maybe that this has been subcontracted to Thames Water.

No I own the property. Member of family opened the door as they were expecting a parcel. Luckily they said 'no' & closed the door on them as they were still half asleep lol. I will give TW a call tomorrow if I get a mo to find out what's going on.
