So, re the stagnant water, as well as probable injury and costly damage, the fellah gets legionnaire’s disease?

Having worked in the construction trades for 41 years, I can tell you that the water in those pipes is so foul you can not imagine the stench that eminates from it when it is drained or cracked open!!!!
