Suffolk Cooling Tower Tests Positive for Legionella
A cooling tower atop the New York State Supreme Court building in Riverhead tested positive for Legionella bacteria, but officials confirmed there is no threat to public health as the bacteria did not circulate into the building. The tower was disinfected, and outside air intake dampers were shut down as a precaution. In a separate outbreak in New York City’s Upper East Side, five deaths and dozens of hospitalizations occurred from Legionnaires' disease linked to contaminated cooling towers, but no new cases have been reported since mid-July.
