Made

20th September 2000

Coming into force

1st October 2000

Whereas provision is made in relation to North Surrey Water Limited (“North Surrey”) in local statutory provisions;

And whereas with effect from 1st October 2000 the Director General of Water Services has made a variation under section 8 of the Water Industry Act 1991(1) (“the Act”) replacing North Surrey as a water undertaker;

And whereas by virtue of that variation Three Valleys Water PLC (“Three Valleys”) will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole area for which North Surrey holds an appointment as a water undertaker;

And whereas with effect from 1st October 2000 North Surrey will transfer properties, rights and liabilities to Three Valleys 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the purposes of the above-mentioned variation and transfer scheme that provision be made corresponding to provisions originally made by Schedule 26 to the Water Act 1989(2) and that local statutory provisions relating to North Surrey be amended or repealed;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:

1991 c. 56; section 8 was amended by the Competition and Service Utilities Act 1992, section 40(3) and Schedule 1 paragraph 17.
