Your pipe must be very shallow. Still, it doesn&#39;t seem to get above 20°C much or for very long so I imagine most of the spoors are dead on arrival.<br/><br/>(The pipe from the road into the house I&#39;m renting in the north of Scotland, which runs round the back of the neighbouring house, is pretty shallow.

The only rules or guidance I found were from the Hong Kong health authority which said a maximum of 20°C.<br/><br/>The cold supply underground in the UK would never come close to that temperature so the chances of even comatose Legionella spoors arriving in the supply would be minimal. In Queensland, however, I could imagine the supply being warmer than that so there might be a sufficient load of spoors arriving that weekly pasteurisation wouldn&#39;t be sufficient. At least in theory. 2025-10-11T09:24:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9x6l3yey4gwlvpzxemkwyezs427rmmxsyuk4v472r2zahvm0jrzszyzm3lrteqyqt8qlsvvrujltrwrynzu3anupdpa4f3dy05c8ax5qk2r5vt99 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz6s7d49jjy756aktxgwyk8x525qzn996qas38wu9xg8ye8g6rr4stsr6nr'>nevent1q…r6nr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Any idea if/how much they&#39;ll modulate their electricity demand to match supply/price? 2025-07-24T19:10:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszpvg9878qak426f93pzy7tkn6fr8eu4dvfhzued0jqaqqg7us5zqzyzm3lrteqyqt8qlsvvrujltrwrynzu3anupdpa4f3dy05c8ax5qk2n0um6x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2yrmt49qpg3tg6v205pku7tea547jjysshltsf7g55062y5x5r5gnpwc5g'>nevent1q…wc5g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Do you know Teulu? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g41jkjq0MiI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g41jkjq0MiI</a><br/><br/>They&#39;re just over the arbitrary line from you and likely on your way to anywhere: <a href="https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:7480034/zoom:10">https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:7480034/zoom:10</a> 2025-06-30T19:49:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrhtmhnn7qd8u6rxuvq8ywevjczvjpd79qm7p867chvdpn4ynnlfczyzm3lrteqyqt8qlsvvrujltrwrynzu3anupdpa4f3dy05c8ax5qk2e64qj6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdnyrj45p46yhxzzrxlfma0a8kcndrrp42zm9tvx3ft79a323us9cuzk9tt'>nevent1q…k9tt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bit surprised by your assumption later in the piece that there was only on e-Id provider.
