Serão "águas estagnadas"? Why does this create a potential health problem?

Dead legs are sections of potable water piping systems that have been altered, abandoned or capped such that water cannot flow through them. This includes isolated branch lines, pipe sections with closed valves and pipes with one end capped. Dead legs experience periods of no flow which leads to stagnation. Basically any closed valve not connected to a fixture, appliance or piece of equipment can be considered as a dead leg.
