Legionella Compliance
Regulatory compliance and Legionella testing play pivotal roles in safeguarding public health. ASHRAE Standard 188 sets a national benchmark for preventing Legionella growth in building water systems. In New York City, Local Law 77 of 2015 focuses specifically on cooling towers to mitigate the risk of Legionnaires' disease. This law mandates building owners to register, inspect, and clean cooling towers regularly. Legionella testing is a key requirement, with results reported to the Department of Health. Quarterly inspections and annual certifications by licensed professionals are compulsory, with non-compliance resulting in penalties. Staying updated on any amendments or changes to these regulations is crucial for building owners to ensure ongoing compliance and protect the public from Legionella contamination.
