Building Water Quality Commissioning in Healthcare Settings: Reducing Legionella and Water Contaminants Utilizing a Construction Scheduling Method
1. Introduction The lack of a building water quality commissioning (BWQC) practice for a building water distribution system (BWDS) has contributed to disease cases and deaths from Legionella and other waterborne pathogens [1,2]. Public health agencies and healthcare organizations have reported case studies (n = 31) resulting in disease cases (n = 894) and deaths (n = 112) from waterborne pathogens associated with poorly executed construction and commissioning activities [2].

James Dipping and Molly Scanlon: 5 tips for reducing Legionella risk
There has been a lot of discussion and new guidance documentation about Legionella in building water systems and the implementation of water management programs (WMP) for ongoing operations. This has led to discussions about plumbing engineering best practices to allow the building water distribution system (BWDS) to operate efficiently and safely when the building is occupied.
Lovely War by Julie Berry
Any slew of adjectives could not describe the admirable novel that is Lovely War by Julie Berry. Berry integrates historical fiction, Greek mythology, and modern day language to create a phenomenal story full of love, war, and heartache. The novel follows the story of four young adults – two male soldiers and two girls – as they find love during World War I.
Australia Fires
Koalas, packed in the back of people’s cars, are desperately trying to escape the flames that are actively destroying their habitats. Almost half a billion animals have been killed by the Australian bushfires, including 30% of New South Wales’ koala population, and scientists estimate that around a billion animals will die altogether from the effects of the flames.
Raising Awareness About Water Safety During Construction » Working Pressure
Healthcare facilities with concerns about immuno-compromised patients have been early adopters of water safety standards to maintain a healthy built environment. With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS, 2017) publication of Memo 17-30, healthcare facilities are now required to establish a water management program (WMP) per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188: Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems to reduce waterborne pathogens and ensuing disease.
