Water Quality - Homeowner and Building Manager Tips

Legionella is responsible for >90% of waterborne outbreaks caused from plumbing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In most cases, the treated water delivered to homes all over the U.S. is required to meet federal and state standards for drinking water. Once the water enters a home's plumbing, a different environment exists where the water quality can degrade over time and the plumbing becomes vulnerable to the growth of these bacteria. Homeowners and building managers have a critical role in protecting the health of their occupants. Click HERE to learn how to maintain proper water quality in your home or building.
