All premises where cooling towers and evaporative condensers are situated must register with the local authority under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992.

The prime purpose of this is to identify potential areas that could give rise to spread of infectious disease e.g. legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection arising to employees and the public.

You should submit the form of notification of your cooling tower or evaporative condenser with all the details required in the notification form.

You will receive written confirmation that your notification has been received, normally within 5 working days of the council receiving your notification. There is no fee associated with notification.
