I thought we had killed the legionella story some threads ago
Commercial water cooling systems which are unsealed need treating every 6 months
If it is a sealed system then it's a sealed system, legionella can't get out
If domestic, them your natural turn over keeps it clean
If you have a massive system with no usage and you make aerosols you have to ask why

It doesn't pass from person to person so it's quite safe to shower with someone as long as you keep the head clean !
Combi boilers as opposed to hot and cold tanks must help reduce cases because the bug doesn't like temps below 20 deg. I doubt my cold water supply ever gets above that.
There was an outbreak about 10 years ago in a local hotel, the bug was found in the jacuzzi and showers.

We have a much smaller block near me, heated by 2 massive heat pumps, the biggest issue is as they are council owned and the heating is included in the rent, then residents have no incentive to reduce heat loss. Last week when it was -8 I walked past and several had windows wide open, I guarantee they wouldn't do that if paying the bills.
from talking to a resident the other week they pay less than the average locally in rent £85 a week, given the cost of electricity currently that is probably below what is being spent on heating.
