Due to the COVID-19 pan- demic, many buildings and other properties have been un- occupied for an extended pe- riod. When water is stagnant for an extended time, there can be a build-up of hazardous metals and bacteria such as Legionella, which can cause a serious threat to drinking water.
Legionella can grow and multiply, and transmit through aerosolized water droplets. The water droplets can be transmitted through showerheads, hot tubs, sink faucets, centralized air-cooling systems, and large plumbing systems.
Legionella can cause seri- ous diseases and endanger the health of the community, es- pecially vulnerable popula- tions.
Here are some tips to pre- vent Legionella from develop-
ing:
• Develop a comprehen-
sive water management pro- gram (WMP) for your water system and all devices that use water.
• Ensure your water heater is properly maintained and the temperature is correctly set.
• Flush your water system.
• Clean all decorative water features, such as fountains.
• Ensure hot tubs/spas are safe for use.
• Ensure cooling towers are clean and well-maintained.
• Ensure safety equipment including fire sprinkler sys- tems, eye wash stations, and safety showers are clean and well-maintained.
• Maintain your water sys- tem.
