C. LEGIONELLA MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPACE:

C.1 There are currently no EPA enforceable regulations governing the levels of Legionella bacteria in potable water systems; however, EPA has issued a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of 0 ppm [mg/L]. Municipal water supplies and wells can carry Legionella, so it is a given that the bacteria will be introduced into the Space potable water system at some time. The challenge is to limit the amplification of the bacteria to less than lethal levels.

Legionella bacterial amplification occurs when bio-films exist in water storage tanks and dead-end piping legs which allow for growth sites, and when temperature and pH levels are optimum for growth. Infection can occur when patients inhale atomized droplets while showering, drinking or receiving respiratory treatment.

C.2 Piping Design Requirements:

C.2.1 Provide means to easily remove and disinfect all outlet devices such as showerheads and faucets, etc. Utilize self-draining showerheads.

C.2.2 Provide a ¾" ball valve at the end of each piping section as a means to drain heated (above 140 °F [60 ˚C]) flushing hot water that will be used for initial and supplemental disinfection. Ball valve shall be within 50 feet [15.24 meters] of a floor sink, floor drain, sink, or lavatory.

C.2.3 Mix hot/cold water as near the showerhead as possible.

C.2.4 Eliminate all dead legs in the piping system.

C.3 Disinfection Methods: As part of the commissioning process and prior to VA Space Acceptance, Lessor shall disinfect the potable water systems against Legionella by one of the following methods:

C.3.1 Thermal Eradication: Flush 145°F water through all outlets for a period of at least 30 minutes.

C.3.2 Chlorine: Flush free chlorine at a level of 2 parts per million (PPM) or greater for a period of at least 2 hours.

C.3.3 Further refence and information can be located in ASHRAE paper CH-03-3-2.
