We had conflicting schedules today (never in the office at the same time) but I did manage to get a quick moment with him. Basically we don't worry about it much other than in hospitals, but it can be a serious concern there mostly because of "dead" legs. Hospitals undergo a tremendous amount of renovation and plumbing fixtures are constantly being moved. If the piping that previously ran to those fixtures is not removed back to the hot water loop, the "dead" leg fills with water that stagnates - a perfect habitat for legionella. We have had contracts before to eliminate dead legs in hospitals for this very reason.
