The presence of the bacteria Legionella in water systems especially in the hot water distribution system represents in terms of health protection of inhabitants is the crucial problem which is not possible to overlook. Expenses on the elimination of Legionella from the water distribution systems are very high and the results are not often sufficient. It should be the common goal of designers and operators to reduce the risk of Legionella bacteria in the installation inside buildings. To prevent the tragic events it is obviously needed to monitor the issue in the word and pay attention to precautionary regulations. There are a lot of common shortages in hot water distribution systems of the large buildings. The age of system, material base, missing regulation and lack of maintenance play the most important role. We would like to describe technical possibilities for prevention of Legionella growth from contaminated hot water and which could be transferred into operation of water distribution system from the point of view of solving by current European legislation.
