As far as I recall and can determine, Legionnaire's disease
is caused by an aerosol, so water alone should have little to do with
it's spread. It was originally supposed to have been transmitted
through air ducts, and it is a water-borne bacterium, so water could
certainly play some direct
role. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionellosis>

The U.S. gov't recently posted to be careful around water at 2
particular hotels in Cozumel,
as there have been cases of Legionnaries disease, suggesting it is in
the jacuzzi's or the bath water, or swimming pool.
