Water licence - heat pump/ cooling system up to 50kW
Anyone who pumps or infiltrates groundwater via a well and uses it to operate a groundwater heat pump or cooling system requires a permit under water law.
Description
In principle, groundwater-operated heat pumps are possible throughout the city. One exception is the Waldtrudering water conservation area.
It should be noted that in the south of Munich the groundwater 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 ask us about the groundwater levels at your location for reliable planning:
Groundwater information from the Department for Climate and Environmental Protection
Required documents
All documents are required in duplicate on paper and also in digital form.
For projects up to and including 50 kW capacity and outside of contaminated sites entered in the land register and outside of water protection areas:
- informal letter of application
- Expertise from a private expert in water management
A separate notification is required for the drilling of wells.
