New York City on Tuesday released a list of 33 addresses where 34 cooling towers were found to contain live Legionella, the bacteria responsible for that deadly outbreak on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The results show that there may not be a particular source that started the outbreak, but rather multiple sources could have contributed.

BigNY links to the original media report so readers can review the reporting directly. When official records, agency pages, court filings, audits, or public statements are available, they should be read alongside the media account for full context.
