Legionella testing should be carried out frequently.

Since prevention is better than cure, we recommend regular Legionella testing. (German Drinking Water Ordinance)
Since 2011, regulations have stipulated that, for example, regular legionella testing must be carried out in apartment buildings.
This is required as soon as the drinking water is made available to third parties. Shortly thereafter, a testing interval of three years was established.
According to this regulation, homeowners or apartment owners must carry out a Legionella test.
Only single-family and two-family homes are exempt from this regulation. However, since Legionella bacteria multiply rapidly in water,
It is advisable to carry out this Legionella testing at even more frequent intervals. Tenants may need to be informed in this regard.
Take action yourself and carry out a Legionella water test.

The testing intervals for operators of public facilities, as well as the landlords' obligations, are stipulated in the Drinking Water Ordinance.
This has been explained. The responsible public health department will gladly provide further information.
