The Assessment of the Risk Factors on Legionella spp. Presence in Public Supply Water in Permanently vs. Seasonally Open Facilities

We conducted microbiological, physical and chemical analysis of domestic hot water in two accommodation sites with year-round operation and two accommodation sites with seasonal work in Split–Dalmatia County during 2009–2012. From seasonally open facilities 206 hot water samples were analyzed for the presence of Legionella spp. as well as 219 samples from facilities with year-round operation. Analysis also included water temperature, free residual chlorine, and concentrations of iron, zinc and copper.
