Cooling towers

Businesses with control of premises with a wet cooling tower or evaporative condenser must notify us with details of the installation.

This is required under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992.

The main purposes for the notification process are to:

• identify where potential sources of risk of Legionella are located
• allow for easier identification, monitoring and inspection by us should the need arise.

You can register a cooling tower or evaporative condenser on your premises using the online form below.
