Cooling towers notification
Under the Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers
Regulations 1992, persons in control of premises have a duty to
notify the local authority in writing with details of 'notifiable
devices'.
Notifiable devices consist of cooling towers and evaporative
condensers, except where they contain water that is not exposed to
the air and the water and electricity supply are not
connected. If a tower becomes redundant or dismantled, this
should also be notified.
The main purpose of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers
Regulations 1992 is to help in the investigation of legionnaires'
disease.
