13thmonkey - river water carries all sorts from sewage overspill to chemicals washed from fields, farm slurry etc. If this water is evaporated from the cooling towers and it did contain Covid19, could it be a problem. Many Water Companies accept that at times there is sewage release in to rivers, albeit a controlled release. So we know Covid19 exists in sewage, we know power stations draw water from our rivers, and we know water companies release sewage into such rivers. Legionella is a known risk for evaporation cooling systems and I was asking the question, could Covid19 present a similar risk as there is an identifiable path to the evaporation process.
