The bacteria that causes Legionnaires disease is abundant in nature. The
bacteria mainly live in water, for example stagnant water and ponds, where
it does not usually cause problems. Increases in the numbers of the
Legionella occur when water is used by us, humans, in water systems, from
general washing to the heating and cooling of food stuffs. Outbreaks occur
in these purpose-built water systems where temperatures are warm enough to
encourage growth of the bacteria, e.g. in cooling towers, evaporative
condensers and Jacuzzi’s and from water used for domestic purposes in
buildings such as hotels.
