Background: Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA) issued Directive 1061 on August 13, 2014. This Directive addresses the prevention of healthcare associated Legionella Disease and Scald Injury from potable water distribution systems in VHA-owned buildings in which patients, residents, or visitors stay overnight. In order to comply with the Legionella Directive, Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Affairs Hospital is required to implement water treatment and controls upon the existing water distribution system. The new system will include measures to monitor temperature, PH and oxidant levels in each building's potable water distribution systems(s) and scald prevention. Buildings directly impacted by these new requirements are: " Bldg. #5 " Bldg. #100 " Bldg. #217 " Bldg. #221 For Building #5 hot and cold water treatment only. For buildings 100, 217 and 221, new monitors for sample testing need to be installed in order to comply with the above mentioned Directive. Research of existing records identified incomplete As-Builts, insufficient for establishing a basis for the intended design. As-Built drawings are critical for identifying the existing conditions and in developing the required water treatment and controls. A complete set of As-Builts for each one of the buildings and site (utilities) is necessary in order to have the most updated data including campus water service and hot water distribution system.
