Abstract
Legionella pneumophila presents a latent public health risk for public water systems; however, well-run systems can maintain a baseline level in drinking water below a level of concern.
Routine monitoring can establish a water utility's baseline Legionella pneumophila frequency of occurrence and concentration (MPN/100 mL).
A routine monitoring program can follow the Revised Total Coliform Rule, which makes it reasonable for water utilities to implement.
