Oakland County Detects Legionella in Two More Buildings as Testing Widens

Overview

• County confirms positive samples at the North Oakland Health Center and the Resource and Crisis Center following Jan. 19 testing.
• Four county facilities have now tested positive since early December, after initial findings at the sheriff’s administration building and the Circuit Court tower.
• Remediation includes installing point‑of‑use filters on fixtures, flushing building systems, and scheduling follow‑up sampling.
• Routine water testing at the Oakland County Jail began Jan. 27, with results expected in the coming weeks.
• Officials say the latest detections do not appear to originate from the incoming water supply, and no cases are linked to the two newly identified sites.
