Treatment of the water at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia has been delayed for three-months due to problems that engineers experienced is accurately determining Legionella contamination levels. The announcement to treat water at the facility followed the death of a young woman in 2005. Immunocompromised hospital patients are most at risk of legionaire's disease, caused by Legionella: healthy people are rarely affected.
It is not really unexpected that problems and delays will occur as engineers and planners attempt to use new technologies on a very old building and its complex network of aging pipes. It is unlikely that treatment of the water will eliminate Legionella; however, it is expected that the numbers of bacteria will be greatly reduced by the proposed treatment.
