Legionella in the water – bacteria alarm at the seat of the state government

Date:

Legionella was found in the warm mass at the seat of the state government in Salzburg’s Kaigasse. The country’s ministers and employees have now been informed.

An increased legionella content in the hot water has now been detected in the building at Kaigasse 14 to 16. Offices of the state government and individual specialized departments have their headquarters there. Due to the long queues, there are always problems with the hot water in Kaigasse. Together with experts, the quality of the hot water is increased with the help of chemical additives. By calling in employee protection, employees were immediately informed about necessary behavioral measures.

Cold water harmless
The cold water can still be used without hesitation, but hot water is not recommended for certain purposes. By adding additives that are harmless to health, attempts are now being made to control the problem and restore the drinking quality of the hot water. Bottled water is temporarily made available for staff.
