Legionnaires’ disease got its name following an outbreak of an illness causing severe pneumonia symptoms that occurred in a Philadelphia hotel hosting a convention of the American Legion in 1976. Contaminated water in the hotel’s cooling towers was inhaled via the air-conditioning system and led to widespread infection.

The recent concerns over the traces of Cryptosporidium found at the Franklaw water treatment works outside Preston, Lancashire, led to more than 300,000 households in the area being advised to boil drinking water.

The Lubron UK team were delighted to win an award at the recent Green Essex Awards. The awards are designed to recognise and reward companies, organisations, community projects, education establishments and charities within the county of Essex for their efforts to reduce their carbon footprints and improve environmental performance.

Lubron UK’s Technical Manager, Stephen Smith, enjoyed a retirement buffet with his wife and some of his colleagues recently, but he isn’t leaving the company for good! After twenty years with Lubron UK and as one of the longest-serving employees, Stephen has gone part-time and is planning on spending more time with his family, particularly his grandchildren, and on his hobby of growing alpine plants.
