Campaign to prevent air-conditioner nuisances
Don't let your air-conditioner become a nuisance to your neighbour as this will cause you a fine of $10,000.
This is the message of a publicity campaign launched by the Health Education Unit of the Department of Health.
The campaign is organised under the sponsorship of the Urban and Regional Councils.

As part of the campaign, a 24-hour hotline 2723 0013
2723 0013 - carrying a pre- recorded message on methods of preventing nuisances caused by air-conditioners will be available to advise members of the public.
"The aim is to remind the general public to effect due repair and maintenance to their air-conditioning systems with the approach of the summer season," a spokesman for the department said today (Wednesday).
"After listening to the taped message, a caller may leave his questions with the hotline. Staff from the Health Education Unit will call back," the spokesman said.
"Unwanted drippings, hot air and excessive noise were the common nuisances emitted from defective air-conditioners," he said.
He pointed out that if a fresh water cooling tower was improperly maintained, it might cause Legionnaires' disease and affected health.
"Owners of fresh water cooling towers are advised to drain the towers regularly, and the towers should be cleansed and sterilised every six months to prevent the growth and spread of Legionella bacteria.
"Air-conditioners should be installed as far away as possible from the neighbouring unit to avoid causing noise nuisance to neighbours.
