Case Study
Derbyshire Police Constabulary
Matt Cooper
Company Introduction
Derbyshire Police Constabulary is responsible for policing and public safety across Derbyshire, operating a wide range of facilities that require strict compliance with health and safety regulations. As a public sector organisation, maintaining safe and compliant water systems is essential to protect staff, visitors, and operational environments.
The Challenge
Managing water hygiene across multiple sites presents a significant compliance responsibility, particularly within a large and operationally critical organisation.
Ensuring consistent monitoring, risk management, and regulatory compliance requires a structured and reliable approach, alongside confidence that any risks are identified and addressed promptly.

I have been here since 2023 and SAS Water has been our trusted partner for even longer, winning the contract again in 2026 through a competitive tender. It is an all-encompassing contract covering legionella risk assessments, flushing, temperature checks, sampling, cleaning, inspections, and plumbing work.
It works really well, we have a positive and constructive relationship, and working with SAS Water offers reassurance. We are confident we have all the right processes in place.
