Issue details

Horton Mill Community Primary School has been experiencing bursts on the hot and cold-water pipework for the last five years.
The domestic hot and cold-water pipework is failing on a regular basis. The copper pipework is corroding from the inside out, forming pinholes that result in leaks throughout the school. The pipework will continue to corrode and is beyond the point that any remedial action can be taken. As a result, the leaks will continue, potentially becoming worse.
A number of point of use water heaters are approaching the end of their useful life, resulting in an increased risk of failure and contamination into any newly replaced pipework.
