The Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio gets the word…their water tested negative for legionella bacteria. CCNO says remediation was the recommendation from the ODH as the water has been turned off at the jail since Feb. 16, with the exception of limited showers and sinks which had filters installed for inmates use. Remediation is when the water heaters are turned up to raise the water temperatures and once the water has been hot enough, it will be flushed from the system. Staff and inmates at the jail have been informed of this process and were advised to not use the hot water for their safety as it will be scalding temperatures. As a precaution, ODH may suggest a follow-up test to be done after the remediation. CCNO was required to do the testing after an inmate tested positive for legionella bacteria earlier this month during a scheduled surgery at a local hospital.
