Legionella Compliance Services
R2J helps facilities across Florida meet Legionella compliance requirements through expert testing, water management planning, and remediation support. Our team partners with healthcare, senior living, education, and commercial buildings to reduce risk and maintain system safety.
Why Legionella Compliance Matters
Legionella bacteria can grow in building water systems and cause Legionnaires’ disease—a potentially deadly form of pneumonia. To protect public health, organizations like ASHRAE, CDC, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed standards that require proactive water system management.
Failure to comply with these standards can lead to health incidents, legal liability, and regulatory citations. That’s why a clear, well-documented program is critical for facilities with cooling towers, domestic hot water systems, decorative fountains, and other aerosol-generating equipment.
Our Legionella Compliance Services Include:
- Risk assessments to identify areas of potential Legionella growth
- Development and implementation of site-specific Water Management Plans (WMPs)
- Routine Legionella testing with culture or qPCR through CDC ELITE lab partners
- Disinfection and remediation following positive results or identified system risk
- Compliance documentation and reporting for audits or regulatory inspections
- Ongoing monitoring and plan reviews to keep programs active and effective
