Thank you your request for information, received on 20 February 2012. You requested:

I would like to know the following under the FOI act:

1) What are the recorded daily hot water temperatures on the Curnock Estate for the last 4 months?

We are sorry to inform you that we do not hold this information. This is because the temperatures are not recorded on a daily basis.

2) What are the recorded daily hot water pressure on the Curnock Estate?

We are sorry to inform you that we do not hold this information. This is because the hot water pressures are not recorded on a daily basis.

3) What should be the temperature of the hot water supply to the outlet/tap within 1 minute after fully opening the outlet? Are there any standards or regulations such as HSE Document L8 about this? What are those documents/standards stating?

The standard is for the temperature within one minute of opening the outlet to be 50º C.

We hope that the information is useful to you.
