Legionella bacteria are commonly found in man-made water systems where water is warm and stagnant. High-risk sources include:
- Large building air conditioning systems with cooling towers
- Hot water tanks and heaters
- Showerheads and faucets
- Whirlpool spas and hot tubs
- Decorative fountains and misting systems
Poor maintenance or infrequent cleaning of these systems can lead to bacterial growth and increase the risk of outbreaks.
