Last week Ford reported low levels of bacteria that cause Legionnaires’ disease at the Dearborn Truck Assembly plant outside of Detroit. The announcement came at the same time Legionella bacteria was reported at the Old Main building at Wayne State.
According to a report in the Detroit Free Press the discoveries came during “routine” testing at the cooling towers at both Wayne State and the Ford Rouge complex where the top selling Ford F-150 pickup truck is built. Notifications were posted at three locations where the tests were conducted.
