What is the cost of a Legionella outbreak? How much does it cost my facility if someone contracts Legionnaires disease? Costs depend on several variables. The biggest is whether or not the hospital of facility has a defensible water management program in place. This can reduce legal liability by 90% as well as keep your facility safe. An active water management program shows the facility was making a reasonable effort to keep clients and staff safe in regards to domestic and utility water. Use the Legionnaires outbreak cost calculator below to get a rough estimate of what an outbreak could cost your facility.
By far the most critical step to keep Legionella under control and prevent Legionnaires disease is to have a Water Management Plan in place. Effective water management programs are meant to identify and reduce risks in cold and hot water lines including domestic and utility water.
See our Legionella Demand Calculator to determine the total pounds of FAC (Free Available Chlorine or equivalent) needed per day to help keep your facility safe.
