Legionnaires Disease Prevention, Testing and Remediation It is vitally important that as part of a complete maintenance program, regular testing for Legionella bacteria be carried out.

Whilst difficult to culture in lab conditions, a poorly-maintained water system is the ideal breeding ground for legionella pneumophila, along with other harmful bacteria, such as E-coli.

Although difficult to contract, Legionnaire's Disease can be fatal, and often has long-lasting or permanent side-effects.

This has been highlighted several times over the years, most recently with the unfortunate deaths of 7 people, and the critical illness of 180 others, in August 2002 at Barrow.

It is therefore of prime importance that consideration is given to minimising, and hopefully eliminating the risks on any given water system.
