“Company owner Tim Keane was in Rapid City this week with state health officials, looking for possible sources of the disease, which has been confirmed in 10 Rapid City area residents — one of whom died — since the end of May.”
“Hollingsworth said Keane would work with state health officials to see if there are other possible sources to be tested in the city. He also will
provide guidance on how to properly maintain water systems to reduce the chances of the disease. And he will help
fix or eliminate the source if it is discovered, Hollingsworth said…”
”Keane also will help design an education campaign on preventing Legionnaires' that could
include news releases and instructional
seminars, she said.”
"Whether we find a source or not, we're going to share his
recommendations about proper maintenance to prevent
Legionella," Hollingsworth said.”
