The Private Water Supplies (Scotland) Regulations 2006

Revocation and modification of temporary departure

15.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, an appropriate local authority may at any time modify or revoke an authorisation under regulations 9, 10 or 11 (as the case may be).

(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the appropriate local authority shall not revoke or modify an authorisation without giving at least 28 days' notice in writing of its intention to do so, to—

(a) the relevant person to which the authorisation relates and to any other relevant person in relation to that supply;

(b) every consumer served by that supply;

(c) every monitoring local authority in relation to that supply;

(d) every health board in whose area the supply is located;

(e) in the case of an authorisation granted in respect of a private water supply to which the provisions of regulations 10, 11 or 13(3) apply, the Scottish Ministers; and

(f) such other persons as it considers appropriate.

(3) An appropriate local authority may revoke or modify an authorisation without notice if it appears to it that immediate revocation or modification is required in the interests of public health.

(4) A body or person on whom notice has been served in accordance with paragraph (2), may make representations to the appropriate local authority in connection with the proposed modification or revocation within the period specified in the notice, and the authority shall have regard to any such representations.

(5) The relevant person on whose application a departure has been authorised under this Part shall notify the appropriate local authority as soon as the circumstances which gave rise to the departure cease to exist.

(6) As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notification under paragraph (5), the appropriate local authority shall revoke the authorisation without the need for prior notice, only on being satisfied that the circumstances which gave rise to the departure cease to exist.
