Why Potable Water Disinfection Is Critical

:
Whether you're bringing a new building online or responding to contamination concerns, potable water disinfection is essential to safeguard public health. Left untreated, bacteria such as Legionella and coliforms can spread rapidly through water lines, putting occupants at serious risk. At Maximum Environmental, we offer certified disinfection services that remove harmful pathogens, meet regulatory standards, and give you peace of mind.

When You May Need Potable Water Disinfection

• Commissioning a new water system

• After plumbing repairs or renovations

• Following periods of disuse or stagnation

• In response to failed water quality tests

• As part of Legionella prevention programs

• Prior to occupancy in commercial/residential buildings

​

Our Disinfection Process

1. System Assessment – We evaluate the plumbing layout and usage history to determine the most effective disinfection method.

2. Chlorination or Chemical Treatment – We dose the system with an approved disinfectant, maintaining proper contact time throughout all lines.

3. System Flushing – After disinfection, we thoroughly flush the system to remove residual chemicals.

4. Water Quality Testing – We collect samples to confirm the absence of harmful bacteria and ensure the system meets health code standards.

5. Certificate of Disinfection – You’ll receive full documentation and certification for your records or regulatory needs.
