Questions
Yes. CMS expects certified hospitals, critical access hospitals and nursing homes to have water management plans that assess where Legionella could grow, follow the ASHRAE standard and CDC toolkit, and set and document testing protocols and control limits.
CMS does not require water cultures for Legionella. Testing protocols are up to the facility, but the plan must set acceptable ranges for control measures and record results and the corrective actions taken when limits are missed.
The NYC Health Department inspects cooling tower systems and reviews each system's Maintenance Program and Plan and operating records. Owners must keep records of all cooling tower water maintenance for at least three years.
