Water Management Plans
A properly developed Water Management Plan is your facility's primary defense against Legionella risk — and your primary protection when a regulator, insurer, or accreditation body asks what you've done to keep occupants safe.
Compliant WMPs Developed by Certified Specialists
A Water Management Plan (WMP) is a site-specific, documented program that identifies Legionella risk in a building's water systems, establishes control measures to manage that risk, and defines monitoring, corrective action, and verification procedures. ASHRAE Standard 188 — the industry standard for Legionella risk management — requires WMPs for a broad range of building types, and healthcare facilities face additional requirements under CMS Conditions of Participation, The Joint Commission, and state health department regulations.
RW Water Services develops Water Management Plans for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and industrial facilities throughout the New York metro area. Our WMPs are developed by ASSE 12080-certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Professionals — the highest professional credential in the field — and are written to be practical, implementable, and defensible under regulatory scrutiny.
We do not produce generic template documents. Every WMP we develop is based on a thorough on-site assessment of your specific building water systems, occupancy, and risk profile. The resulting plan reflects your actual systems, your actual control measures, and your actual monitoring program — not a generic framework that could apply to any building.
What Sets Our WMPs Apart
ASSE 12080 Certified Specialists
Our WMPs are developed by ASSE 12080-certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Professionals — the credential that regulators, accreditation bodies, and insurers recognize as the standard of care.
ASHRAE 188 Compliant
Every WMP is developed in full conformance with ASHRAE Standard 188, the industry standard for Legionella risk management in building water systems.
Healthcare-Specific Expertise
Deep experience with CMS Conditions of Participation, The Joint Commission Environment of Care standards, and AAMI ST108 requirements for healthcare water systems.
Site-Specific, Not Template-Based
Your WMP reflects your actual building systems, water sources, occupancy, and risk profile — not a generic document that could apply to any facility.
Implementable Control Measures
Control measures, monitoring schedules, and corrective action procedures that your facility team can actually implement and document — not aspirational language that looks good on paper.
Ongoing Support & Updates
Annual WMP reviews, updates for system changes, and ongoing support to ensure your plan stays current and your team stays trained on its requirements.
