The Northumbrian Water and Essex and Suffolk Water (Amendment of Local Enactments Etc.) Order 2000

Made

23rd March 2000

Coming into force

1st April 2000

Whereas provision is made in relation to Northumbrian Water Limited (“Northumbrian”) and Essex and Suffolk Water plc (“Essex and 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) replacing Essex and Suffolk as a water undertaker with effect from 1st April 2000;

And whereas by virtue of that variation Northumbrian will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole of the area for which Northumbrian and Essex and Suffolk each hold appointments as water undertakers;

And whereas with effect from 1st April 2000 Essex and Suffolk will transfer properties, rights and liabilities to Northumbrian by a transfer scheme under Schedule 2 to the Water Industry Act 1991;

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the purposes of the above-mentioned variation and transfer scheme that provision be made corresponding to provisions originally made by Schedule 26 to the Water Act 1989(2);

Now therefore the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Water Industry Act 1991, hereby makes the following Order:
