Hi, been asked to do a job which seems a little strange.
Large office building in London, expansion pipe to roof mounted cold water taken has broken off leaving a hole in the tank, this was noticed when the annual legionella risk carried was out and they have said that the hole needs to be filled up. I said thats easy enough, I will fix the pipe and put it back into the top of the tank so its back as it was. They said no, its a legionella risk having it back in there and they should have another tank fitted for the pipe to go into that then discharges into a gutter, and they will fill the hole. The client is worried about the legionella risk so just wants to do what they have requested, so, is there a risk involved if I just repipe it as it originally was?
