Legionella Found in Allegheny Jail Bathrooms | Pittsburgh News

Legionella bacteria found in two staff bathrooms at Allegheny County Jail — no one has gotten sick yet, but officials are moving fast.

The jail is now partnering with Facilities and Health Departments to clean up, test water systems, and build a long-term water management plan to prevent future outbreaks.
