The aim of this research was the isolation of  Legionella  spp. from domestic water supply networks in the Prefecture of Arta. A total of 100 water samples, from 25 houses, were collected. Half of the samples concerned the cold water and half the hot water supply. Purpose was to detect colonization of the water networks with  Legionella  spp. >500 cfu/L by using the method of filtration (ISO 11731). Out of 100 samples, 6 samples from 3 houses were positive for  Legionella  spp.  Legionella pneumophila  serogroup 2–14 was isolated in 5 of 6 samples, whereas in the sixth sample  Legionella anisa  was identified. Only three of the samples had residual chloride over 0.2 mg/L, rate which is necessary for potable water, according to the Greek hygienic practice. Concerning the temperature of hot water, the mean temperature of the negative for  Legionella  samples was higher compared to the mean temperature of the positive for  Legionella  samples (49.9°C versus 45.5°C). It is estimated that there is risk of infection through the use of showers. The low concentration of chloride and the temperature, which was found within the limits favorable to developing  Legionella  spp. (20–45°C), provide fertile ground for proliferation of the bacteria.
