Legionella Found in Federal Courthouse
Elevated levels of Legionella bacteria were discovered in the Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford. The bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. Lawmakers have urged the General Services Administration to address the issue promptly to ensure the safety of workers. The discovery has raised concerns about water quality in federal buildings and the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent such health risks.
