NYC DOH Legionella Rules Update 2026

Presented and sponsored by JB&B Environmental

The New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene released proposed updates to cooling tower regulations under Chapter 8 of Title 24, effective
May 8, 2026, pursuant to Local Law 159-2025.

The most notable change, following last summer’s outbreak, is mandatory monthly Legionella culture testing. Additional proposed requirements include:

Annual certification of the Cooling Tower Management & Maintenance Plan (MMP) by a qualified person
Municipal water required for tower fill during start-up/commissioning
DOH approval required for use of non-potable makeup water
Documented valve schedules for all operating configurations
Risk procedures for components idle more than three (3) days
Increased disinfectant testing when bacteria indicators exceed limits
“In operation” is broader than “running”; once the system contains water, it is treated as in operation.
Mandatory reporting of seasonal start-up and shutdown dates
Full record availability at inspection and complete system drainage during shutdown
Doubled fines and new violation categories

All existing Cooling Tower Management & Maintenance Plans (MPP) will require updates.
