Legionella Compliance For Cooling Towers

man servicing cooling tower on buildingTo date across the country, there are no regulations on other systems besides cooling towers. Legionella can be found in many systems but has been most prevalent in cooling towers. These systems are able to be regulated in order to limit and even prevent legionella. In order to do so, those owning or operating cooling towers should seek out the help of a legionella professional. Seeking out legionella compliance assistance for cooling towers is easier than one may think.

Cooling Towers & Legionella Compliance

Today, cooling towers are regulated by both the NYC and NY State Departments of Health. These are the entities that wrote the law based on the ASHRAE 188 guidelines which were published in July 2015, one month prior to NYC’s worst outbreak of Legionella.

The Compliance Regulations

These regulations force building owners to designate a person responsible, usually an employee of the management company or owner, to hire a qualified individual compliance company, consultant, water treatment company, or environmental engineer. The hired party will write a water management plan for each and every cooling tower at every facility they own, follow it and comply. The building owner must also hire a competent water treatment company that uses automatic water treatment to properly protect the cooling tower system from Legionella, bacteria, algae, scale, corrosion dirt, and debris. The owner is also responsible for proper maintenance of this system, cooling tower, water and all HVAC equipment associated.

Tenant Owned Cooling Towers

Tenants that own cooling towers are held to the same strict regulation as building owners. However, if the tenant fails to comply, all responsibility shifts to the owner of the facility. It then becomes the owner’s responsibility to force the tenant to comply or comply with them.
