Monthly Testing Services
THE ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL'S OFFICE will resume monthly testing of the water in the Capitol mechanical system's cooling towers to check levels of a bacteria that causes Legionnaire's disease. The action is in response to an April 22 citation from the congressional Office of Compliance for exposing mechanical plant workers to legionella pneumophila. Last August ''high concentrations'' of legionella were detected in the Capitol utility plant's west cooling towers. The architect's office was also told by the compliance office, which enforces occupational safety and health laws on Capitol Hill, that the east tower's two older wooden units ''were in very poor condition and, until replaced, required intensive maintenance.'' Compliance officials also said that both east and west towers should be ''tested at least monthly'' for legionella unless drained of water.
