A short-term resident at the County Meadows retirement community in Bethlehem Township has tested positive for Legionnaires' disease, a rare form of pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria. The disease is spread through water distribution lines in building plumbing. The retirement community has hired a water management company to conduct tests on its water system, and in the meantime, residents in the affected building have been advised not to drink tap water or use it for hygiene purposes. Bottled water is being provided, and specialized filters are being installed for safe showers. The source of the bacteria is currently unknown.
