- •
We assessed DWPS characteristics which were pertinent for early risk predictions of Legionella contamination.
- •
Incidences of Legionella have a strong spatial and temporal (short- and long-term) variability.
- •
Single sampling point-specific parameters cannot predict the occurrence of contamination.
- •
For single outlets a good estimate of the risk of Legionella contamination can be calculated via a logistic regression model.
