Legionnaires’ disease is a serious but preventable risk in water systems.
Legionella bacteria can grow in poorly maintained water systems such as hot and cold water services, cooling towers, showers, and spas. When contaminated water droplets are inhaled, they can cause severe pneumonia and respiratory illness.
Prevention is key.
Maintaining correct water temperatures, preventing stagnation, carrying out routine cleaning and disinfection, and regular Legionella testing all play a vital role in keeping water systems safe and compliant.
