• Summary

  If you control non-domestic premises you must ensure that you notify Manchester City Council of any cooling tower or evaporative condenser (notifiable devices) on the premises, this includes the location, installation and contact details.
  
  All premises which have cooling towers and evaporative condensers must register with the local authority under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations, 1992.
  
  The main 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.
