Learn the critical steps for safely flushing, disinfecting, and documenting building water systems when Legionella bacteria are suspected or confirmed.

Chicago Faucets is proud to serve as a sponsor of ASHE Engineering Week 2025, a national initiative recognizing the essential role of healthcare engineers in creating safer, more efficient facilities.

When Legionella strikes, emergency flushing and disinfection of a building’s water systems isn’t just critical—it’s the first line of defense against a deadly outbreak.

More than 40 years after its discovery, it shocks me to say that the number of reported cases of Legionnaires’ Disease in the United States has been rising since 2003. 

Water stagnation in piping because of low or no occupancy offers the perfect breeding ground for Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. For hospitals, it is a critical issue affecting patient health and safety. Read on to discover how regularly flushing lines with water can mitigate the issue.

Plumbing designers and engineers will have the tools and knowledge to mitigate the potential of Legionella growth if they implement the correct actions and abide by relative regulations.

The free webinar will take place on March 29, 2023, at 1 p.m. CST.
