Description

New York City is launching a major crackdown on cooling towers after a deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak killed 11 and sickened 94 on the Upper East Side — with new inspections, a citywide map by spring, and stricter enforcement to catch unregistered towers before they start. Experts are also racing to develop faster tests and review next-gen cooling tech, while genetic analysis of the outbreak’s source is still pending — but the goal is clear: prevent another tragedy by building a smarter, more transparent safety system.
