Water cooling systems & warm water systems
Regulated systems are cooling water systems and warm water systems.
The Public Health Act 2010 sets out parameters in governing regulated systems in order to safely manage and prevent the growth and transmission of Legionella bacteria. Legionella bacteria cause Legionnaire’s disease and can be a life-threatening condition.
Legionnaire's disease is an infection of the lungs caused by breathing in Legionella bacteria. Whilst Legionella bacteria is naturally present at low levels in the environment they have the ability to grow rapidly to dangerous levels in poorly managed cooling towers (used to cool large buildings) and warm water systems (used to provide instantaneous warm water).
Registration of Cooling Water Systems and Warm Water Systems
It is a legal requirement for all occupiers of buildings where a cooling water system or warm water system (regulated system) is installed to notify Waverley Council under Section 31 Public Health Act 2010.
Registration must also include any changes to the system when any of the following occurs:
- a new system is installed on a premises
- there is a change of owner or occupier for a building on which a system is located
- the system is modified (for example, cooling towers added or removed)
- the contact details for the building manager changes
- the system is decommissioned.
To register or update information regarding your regulated system please complete our New changes to legislation.
As of 10 August 2018, building occupiers are responsible for these 6 keys features listed in the Public Health Amendment (legionella Control) Regulation 2018
