The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has cleaned the water system at its Grand Island facility following reports of Legionella bacteria.

The VA says it has removed most water-use restrictions at the facility and has implemented remediation actions like chlorinating the water and installing point-of-use shower head filters.

The announcement Thursday comes a week after the VA said Legionella bacteria had been identified at the facility following annual water testing. Strains of the bacteria can cause Legionnaires disease, a form of pneumonia. No cases of the disease had been reported at the facility.

The department says it is installing a copper-silver ionization system designed to purify and disinfect water.

The Grand Island facility includes a community living center, a residential substance abuse unit and an outpatient clinic.
