Latest News on Legionella Control

Lizzie Ward to address spa, hotel and leisure owners at national expo

January 2025

Water safety expert and SAS Water owner Lizzie Ward is to address the UK’s major pool and spa show.

Lizzie will represent leading industry body the Legionella Control Association (LCA) at SPATEX, which will held at Coventry Building Society Arena from Tuesday to Thursday, 4 to 6 February.

Lizzie will be one of four experts at the LCA seminar on the Wednesday afternoon.

“It is an honour to be asked to present on control measures for spa and hot tub safety by the LCA. More importantly, it’s a chance to pass on vital safety advice to the spa industry,” she said.

“Visiting a spa resort or using a home hot tub is a major treat but there’s an inherent danger that must be controlled. The aerated water in a spa pool must be carefully controlled to stop the growth of legionella bacteria, a serious form of pneumonia.

“I am a passionate believer that raising awareness on control measures is necessary and can save lives.”

Public Health England state that spa pools and hot tubs are a recognised source of risk for Legionnaires’ Disease, and this means there is a clear duty of care for building owners and managers.

Business owners have a duty to understand and monitor risk. A legionella risk assessment is a requirement under the law and involves a detailed examination of a water system.

Lizzie has been chosen from hundreds of experts on the LCA register. It is the second year in succession that she has been asked to address delegates at the exhibition, held at the home Coventry City FC.

Based in Leek, Staffordshire, the SAS Water team has more than 30 years’ experience of working with clients across private and public sectors including factories, councils, nursing homes, housing associations, hotels, spas, and leisure centres.

As Managing Director, Lizzie also leads on building public awareness on legionella in the workplace and offers training workshops and talks.
