Building water systems receive potable and non-potable water from either a public or private entity for their water
supply. This water supply for the building water system can contain various waterborne pathogens, including
Legionella bacteria, which can cause or contribute to various illnesses if aspirated, ingested or inhaled. Since
evaporative cooling equipment uses the same building water, there is some potential that these pathogens might
propagate in the equipment. Therefore, careful consideration should be undertaken with respect to equipment
location and the implementation of effective water management, inspection and cleaning protocols. (See Control of
Biological Contaminants in these Operation and Maintenance Instructions.)
