Dear

Further to City Council’s response, we are writing to advise that a couple of lines were missed from the table. Please find below the revised response.

I’m researching water fountains. I’d like the street address - or if not possible, as precise a location as is possible - for all fountains (whether those are drinking fountains, ornamental or otherwise, and whether they are working or non-working) owned, managed, maintained or operated by the local authority. The following table includes references to former drinking fountains/wells which, because of the current health and safety regulations, necessitated their removal from use on the grounds that costs would be too excessive to comply with those regulations. Others, which are non-working have been kept on display at various sites as ‘relics’ of the past.

In the event that there are public fountains known to the authority, but for which the authority is not responsible, and the owner or operator is known, I’d appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. ACC is aware that there are a number of ‘private’ fountains/drinking fountains which are present within commercial and industrial buildings and sites and which the public may view/use. However, ACC has no recorded information relating to any of these and therefore does not hold this information.

ACC is unable to provide you with information on public fountains for which the authority is not responsible as it is not held by ACC. In order to comply with its obligations under the terms of Section 17 of the FOISA, ACC hereby gives notice that this information is not held by it.

We hope this helps with your request.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Buchan Information Compliance Officer
