A waterborne bacteria that can cause pneumonia was found in the tap water of a California state government building less than a month after Governor Gavin Newsom ordered state workers back to their offices.
The building is the home of the Department of Industrial Relations in Lodi, according to a news release from the SEIU Local 1000, which represents state employees. The building remains open as response crews disinfect and clean the plumbing, according to SFGate, which spoke to Department of Industrial Relations spokesperson Denisse Gomez.
