Cooling Tower Registration

Licence Conditions

The purpose of the registration scheme is to provide the local authority with information. This will allow discussions to be had with the proprietor in respect of the control of Legionella and detailed information to assist in any investigations. This is a health and safety precaution.

The Application process

On receipt of your completed application form we will arrange to visit the site and discuss the application with you. The details will be placed on the council register of cooling towers and evaporative condensers.

Your application will be considered and a visit will be undertaken to the site. There is no formal approval process and it is a registration scheme. There is no renewal process but any changes must be reported to us.

If you do not register or advise of changes to the details, it is an offence under the Act.

Complaints

We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the service provider by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in Scotland, Advice Direct Scotland will give you advice or you can contact us directly. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
