Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC): Practical Testing for Water Quality Monitoring
Wednesday, May 20
1:00-2:00 PM ET
This webinar provides an overview of HPC water microbiology testing, including what HPC measures, why it is used, and how HPC results are applied to evaluate general water quality and treatment process performance.
Join IDEXX Senior Scientist Shawn Dubois as he walks through current HPC testing approaches and shares practical insights to support consistent, routine water quality monitoring.
Managing Legionella in Drinking Water Systems: Lessons from the 2024 Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak
Thursday, June 18
1:00-2:00 PM ET
In February 2024, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) publicly linked Legionnaires’ Disease outbreak to the community water supply, identifying L. pneumophila as the primary cause. Unlike most U.S. outbreaks, this event was uniquely associated with a community water system supplied by groundwater—one that met regulatory standards and did not require chlorination.
Subsequent investigations detected L. pneumophila in premise plumbing across multiple institutional buildings, demonstrated the impact of chloramine disinfection in reducing disease cases, and underscored the critical role of collaboration between municipal water utilities and building owners in addressing bacterial growth and protecting public health.
Designed for drinking water utilities, building owners, and laboratories, this webinar will help you learn:
• How Legionella can survive and proliferate in groundwater-supplied systems and premise plumbing
• The role of chloramine disinfection in controlling Legionella at both the system and building level
• Key considerations for sampling strategies, result interpretation, and communication between utilities and labs.
