Legionaire’s Disease was finally tracked down to a general agreement and, in some cases, a requirement that scalding accidents could be avoided by adjusting all hot water faucets in medical facilities and care centers

I sure you're right but I was under the impression LD was spread through the air through improperly maintained heat and air conditioning ducts. At least that's the story I remember when it started in the mid seventies at an Legionnaire's convention in Philadelphia,IIRC.

Doesn't matter. I imagine bacteria will multiply anywhere where moisture and temperature are ideal.

Trust me, I worked for the V.A. at Wadsworth Med Ctr, Los Angeles at the time.
