Oakland County does not have a routine water-testing program for its 45 buildings where 5,300 employees work.
County officials are developing such a plan after a custodian who worked in the sheriff’s administration building was diagnosed with Legionnaire’s disease, a type of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria. County officials have not disclosed details about the custodian other than the diagnosis.
