(1)Subject to sections 130 and 133 below, a sewerage undertaker may enter into and carry into effect—
(a)an agreement with the owner or occupier of any trade premises within its area for the reception and disposal by the undertaker of any trade effluent produced on those premises;
(b)an agreement with the owner or occupier of any such premises under which it undertakes, on such terms as may be specified in the agreement, to remove and dispose of substances produced in the course of treating any trade effluent on or in connection with those premises.
(2)Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1) above, an agreement such as is mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection may, in particular, provide—
(a)for the construction or extension by the sewerage undertaker of such works as may be required for the reception or disposal of the trade effluent; and
(b)for the repayment by the owner or occupier, as the case may be, of the whole or part of the expenses incurred by the undertaker in carrying out its obligations under the agreement.
(3)It is hereby declared that the power of a sewerage undertaker to enter into an agreement under this section includes a power, by that agreement, to authorise such a discharge as apart from the agreement would require a consent under this Chapter.
(1)Where a sewerage undertaker and the owner or occupier of any trade premises are proposing to enter into an agreement under section 129 above with respect to, or to any matter connected with, the reception or disposal of any special category effluent, it shall be the duty of the undertaker to refer to [F1the [F2appropriate agency]] the questions—
(a)whether the operations which would, for the purposes of or in connection with the reception or disposal of that effluent, be carried out in pursuance of the proposed agreement should be prohibited; and
(b)whether, if they are not prohibited, any requirements should be imposed as to the conditions on which they are carried out.
(2)It shall be the duty of a sewerage undertaker where it has made a reference under this section not to give any consent or enter into any agreement with respect to any such operations as are mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above at any time before [F1the [F2appropriate agency]] serves notice on the undertaker of his determination on the reference.
(3)Every reference under this section shall be made in writing and shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed agreement.
(4)It shall be the duty of a sewerage undertaker, on making a reference under this section, to serve a copy of the reference on the owner or the occupier of the trade premises in question, according to whether it is the owner or occupier who is proposing to be a party to the agreement.
F3[(7)If a sewerage undertaker fails, before giving any consent or entering into any agreement with respect to any such operations as are mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, to refer to the [F2appropriate agency] any question which he is required by that subsection to refer to [F4the appropriate agency], the undertaker shall be guilty of an offence and liable—
(a)on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum;
(b)on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
(8)If the [F2appropriate agency] becomes aware—
(a)that a sewerage undertaker and the owner or occupier of any trade premises are proposing to enter into any such agreement as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, and
(b)that the sewerage undertaker has not referred to [F4the appropriate agency] any question which it is required to refer to [F4the appropriate agency] by that subsection,
[F4the appropriate agency] may proceed as if the reference required by that subsection had been made.
(9)If the [F2appropriate agency] becomes aware that any consent has been given or agreement entered into with respect to any such operations as are mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above without the sewerage undertaker in question having referred to the [F2appropriate agency] any question which he is required by that subsection to refer to [F4the appropriate agency], [F4the appropriate agency] may exercise its powers of review under section 127 above or, as the case may be, section 131 below, notwithstanding anything in subsection (2) of the section in question.]
