LEGIONELLA DETECTION
Legionella Count Action
< 10 cfu/ml
A count of less than 10cfu/ml is considered satisfactory. No additional action is
required other than continuing existing maintenance and testing procedures.
Note: Less than 10cfu/ml is considered as “not detected” for the purposes of State
legislation and this procedure.
> 10 cfu/ml
Legionella detected – Decontaminate system and perform follow up water testing.
Warm water system operation, maintenance program and any water treatment
must be reviewed and rectified where necessary.
Note: The warm water system
must not be used until the decontamination procedure has been implemented .
If a greater than 10 cfu/ml of Legionella is detected in a water sample collected from a warm water
system, the system owner must immediately shut down the system or decontaminate the system.
Decontamination of warm water systems must be performed by either:
(a) pasteurisation (refer to “Thermal Disinfection Procedure”); or
(b) chlorination (not documented in this procedure); or
(c) an alternative decontamination procedure approved by the local water authority.
Irrespective of the method used, water testing should be conducted 2-4 days after the system
decontamination. The number of samples will depend on the size and complexity of the system.
If a Legionella count of 10cfu/ml or more is still detected, the actions noted in the table above must
be repeated until Legionella is not detected (less than 10cfu/ml) in 2 consecutive samples taken one
week apart or shut down the system until the problem is remedied.
