Under the notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992, persons in control of premises have a duty to notify the Local Authority in writing with details of 'notifiable devices'. Notifiable devices consist of cooling towers and evaporative condensers, except where they contain water that is not exposed to the air and the water and electricity supply are not connected. If a tower or evaporative condensers becomes redundant or dismantled, this should also be notified within one month of the change, in writing.
The prime purpose of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992 is to help in the investigation and control of legionnaires' disease

To appeal against decisions

If you need more advice about appeals please contact Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council using the details above in the first instance.
Consumer Complaints
If you need to make a consumer complaint about the trading standards of a business we always advise that you first contact the business - preferably in writing (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
If you need to complain about anything relation to a licence or approval granted to a business by the Council, please use the link at the top of the page to make your complaint.
