Legionella Outbreak at Montana Hotel | Butte News

They deployed hyperchlorination, blasting chlorine through pipes, showers, and even the pool to eradicate the threat.

RiverStone Health is returning to test if cleanup succeeded, with officials optimistic no further cases will stem from this location.
