water temp

As pointed out it is the temp at point of delivery as long as the system does not allow water to sit and cool for times long enough to allow any bacteria to thrive.
However I am amazed that the expectation of dish washing water has to be in the 60 degree range, and it is a common one in blocks with communal hot water.
The risk of scalding it too high and modern washing up liquid work well in colder water- you don't need high temps to shift grease and fat any more.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

At work the kitchen and toilet hot water taps are fixed @ 37 degrees (100F). .
And bidets are set at 38 degrees
Thank goodness for that

But my hot water tank is not communal. The tank is for my own use. I pay the electric bill to heat MY water for MY sole use. If it were a communal tank OK, I would have no argument. My main argument is, I am paying my electricity bill, I should have my water at the temperature I want.
As for the useless statement "If you don't like the restrictions, you are free to move elsewhere " :T rock on0 -
But the property is NOT yours, the hot water heating system is NOT yours, and if you burn yourself they will be questioning the land lord/management as to why they allowed it to happen, therefore they must manage the risk.0

So why don't you just get your screwdriver out and adjust the temperature on the tap yourself?But my hot water tank is not communal. The tank is for my own use.
