WE ARE COMING BACK ONLINE.
As we continue our time-series effort for the Boston #H2Omicrobiome, we are building on this to evaluate the effect of changes in water use patterns due to #covid19 #StayAtHome on water quality - thanks to support from .@NSF . https://t.co/7qQwrg0PU8

[Boston Tap @BostonTap]

this batch included (1) first flush (t=0 min) and (3) post flush (t=30 min) from six taps in commercial buildings & five taps from households in the same drinking water distribution system. None of the samples tested positive for #Legionella using the IDEXX Legiolert assay.

[Boston Tap @BostonTap]

First flush after extended #covid19 #StayAtHome shutdown at six taps in large buildings. All inactive since the week of 03/16 or earlier and flushed 06/04-06/05. #legionella numbers =

Further details:
(1) chloraminated system
(2) no disinfectant residual detectable in first flush.

It had been a while since we last sampeled at the @BostonTap
Are you present Legionella pneumophila 🦠

@TheWheltonGroup @Solize28 @LinxuanH We’ve been sharing our data in real-time on this Twitter handle and will continue to do this.

[Boston Tap @BostonTap]

Nicely organized .@Solize28 & @LinxuanH. Looks like we are all set for this week.
