Warning of Legionella Danger in Toilets in Vienna Stadthalle

The old urinals with flushing were replaced by waterless ones in the Vienna Stadthalle. The auditors noticed that the old water installation, including the electronic flush control, was not removed. This was considered critical in a report published on Thursday, with regard to a potential Legionella problem.

Vienna Stadthalle Announces Renovation of Restrooms

The pipes were merely capped and decommissioned, criticized the City Audit Office. However, extensive renovation work is necessary. The Stadthalle - where the Song Contest will take place next year, among other events - promised in a statement to initiate a "complete dismantling" of the water installation. The City Audit Office had already taken a closer look at the Stadthalle several years ago and recommended a series of measures. Most of these have been implemented, according to the current report. Measures in the restroom were not demanded at that time, by the way. There were no indications back then that the urinals needed to be replaced, the auditors reported.
