(OPPPs), Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens, are the primary cause of waterborne disease in the United States. One type of OPPP, can develop in water supply systems and result in Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia.
About 5,000 cases of Legionnaires’ disease are reported each year in the U.S., according to the CDC.
There are several key elements that can promote the growth of Legionella bacteria in a water supply system including:
1) Excessive water age
2) Biofilm
3) Lukewarm water
4) Dead legs
5) Insufficient disinfectant
6) Inadequate corrosion control
7) Cross connections
Three key elements contribute to Legionella risk:
1) Intrusion introduces Legionella into the system
2) Growth occurs when Legionella increases within the system
3) Transmission happens when aerosols, or small water droplets, containing Legionella are inhaled
