"...Hospitals and other health-care facilities in general require water to operate, and usually a lot of it. It is used not
only in patient room sinks, showers, and toilets, but also in staff sink/scrub areas, wellness rehab areas, food service centers, public restrooms, and laboratories. Additionally, water drives many of the mechanical systems in a facility, including HVAC systems, fire protection, and domestic water systems, both hot and cold. All of this water is intended for good outcomes but can also be the primary cause of concern for unintended consequences since water can be a prime breeding ground for bacteria and disease if not managed properly. Waterborne pathogens can be a threat
not only to patients but also to staff, visitors, and other people who come in contact with liquid water, vapor, or airborne spray in a health-care setting..."
