11 Provision of water supplies and sewerage services under town development schemes

(1) A town development scheme may provide that any water supply or sewerage service required for the purposes of the scheme shall be provided by such public authority as may be specified in the scheme, notwithstanding that that authority are not the authority who, apart from such provision of the scheme would be responsible for providing the supply or service (in this section referred to as the " authority generally responsible "): and in that case all functions conferred by any enactment or agreement on the authority generally responsible, so far as relating to the supply or service required, shall, subject to the next following section, be exercisable by the authority so specified, and not by the authority generally responsible.

(2) Any public authority upon whom a function is conferred by a town development scheme by virtue of the last foregoing subsection shall have the like power to construct, operate and maintain, whether within or outside their district, any works necessary for the exercise of the function, as if the works were within and for the benefit of their district.
