WATER INDUSTRY, ENGLAND AND WALES
Made
29th March 1994
Coming into force
31st March 1994
Whereas provision is made in relation to Suffolk Water plc (“Suffolk”) in local statutory provisions;
And whereas the Director General of Water Services has made a variation under section 8 of the Water Industry Act 1991(1) (“the Act”) replacing Suffolk as a water undertaker;
And whereas by virtue of that variation Essex Water plc (“Essex”) will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole area for which Suffolk holds an appointment as the water undertaker;
And whereas Suffolk has transferred all of its properties, rights and liabilities to Essex by a transfer scheme under Schedule 2 to the Act;
And whereas it appears to the Secretary of State appropriate for the purposes of the above–mentioned variation and transfer scheme that provision be made corresponding to provisions originally made by Schedule 26 to the Water Act 1989(2) and that local statutory provisions relating to Suffolk be amended or repealed;
Now therefore the Secretary of State, in exercise of powers conferred on him by paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Act, hereby makes the following Order:

(2) Paragraph (1) shall only apply to any local statutory provision or charges scheme in relation to the area, things or persons in relation to which or to whom that provision or scheme has effect before 31st March 1994.
3. The local statutory provisions referred to in the Schedule to this Order are repealed to the extent indicated in that Schedule with effect from 31st March 1994.
