Water permit - heat pump/ cooling system from 50kW
Anyone operating a groundwater heat pump or cooling system and thus pumping or infiltrating groundwater via a well requires a permit under water law.
Description of the course
In principle, groundwater-operated heat pumps are possible throughout the city, with the exception of the Waldtrudering water conservation area.
However, the groundwater in the south of Munich is relatively deep (15 to 25 metres) and in districts such as Solln or Großhadern there is very little groundwater in some areas.
We therefore recommend that you contact us to enquire about the groundwater levels at your location for reliable planning:
A separate notification is required for the drilling of production and absorption wells.
Prerequisites
The project includes a groundwater heat pump or cooling system with an output of 50 kW or more or the property on which it is to be installed is located on a contaminated site entered in the land register.
Required documents
All documents are required in paper form in quadruplicate as well as in digital form.
In addition to the application form, the documents listed in the information sheet from the Munich Water Management Office are also required.
You can find the application form and information sheet under "Links and downloads".
