CONCORD — Testing conducted by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health Services and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has confirmed that remediation efforts to eliminate Legionella bacteria in a cooling tower in Lincoln were successful. There is no longer an elevated risk of Legionella infection from the cooling tower.

The cooling tower, which is located behind the RiverWalk Resort in the downtown area of Lincoln, underwent a thorough cleaning and disinfection process on Aug. 12, and DHHS and NHDES collected water samples for testing afterwards.
