Quote: Subject: drinking water warning from british embassy Quote: this notice just went out to British Embassy folk. Don't drink the tap water. ** Dear All, As part of new health & safety procedures, TWS staff recently took water samples from all our residential properties to screen in the UK for Legionella bacteria. We have now been notified that some of the samples have tested positive. We are waiting for the arrival of the detailed results, as well as formal advice and guidance from FCO Health & Safety. Once the specific measures to be taken locally have been confirmed, details will be circulated to all staff. Post management of course take this matter extremely seriously and we will keep staff fully informed. However, I can confirm that no cases of Legionnaires’ disease have been diagnosed locally from amongst either staff or families. Of course, should anyone feel unwell or have health concerns then they should as always contact Esther for advice. The UK Health and Safety Executive offers further information on Legionnaires’ disease at their website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/legionnaires/index.htm As a precautionary measure, while a full action plan is prepared, staff are reminded: Do not drink the water from the taps in your houses. UK staff properties have been issued with water dispensers; Do not brush your teeth with tap water, but instead use bottled water. This email is not intended to alarm you, but it is important that you are informed of this situation. We will circulate further information and guidance as soon as it is available. With thanks,
