Further testing is being done to determine the status of bacteria found in cooling towers. These bacteria can cause a form of pneumonia that can be fatal. Health officials are investigating a cluster of cases, including one death.
The initial tests found bacteria in multiple towers, but it is not yet known if the bacteria are live or dead. Only live bacteria can cause illness. A stadium's cooling tower was among those that tested positive, but officials say no current cases have been linked to this location.
More information is available from the city's Health Department.
