This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)For the purposes of any scheme under Schedule 2 to this Act, so much of any sewer as is vested in a water authority immediately before the transfer date but is—
(a)situated in the area of another water authority; and
(b)maintained for the purpose of draining premises in that area,
shall be deemed to have vested in the other water authority before the coming into force of that scheme.
(2)Where any part of a water authority’s sewer is deemed by virtue of this section to have vested in another water authority, anything which—
(a)has been done by or in relation to the first-mentioned authority for any purposes connected with that part of that sewer; and
(b)is in force or effective immediately before the transfer date,
shall have effect for the purposes of any transitional provision contained in this Act as if it had been done by or in relation to that other authority.
(3)Where any part of a sewer is vested in any sewerage undertaker by virtue of this section, the terms on which that part of that sewer—
(a)communicates with such parts of that sewer or of any other sewer; or
(b)discharges into any such sewage disposal works,
as immediately before the transfer date were vested in the same water authority as that part of that sewer but, by virtue of this section, are vested in another sewerage undertaker shall be determined, in default of agreement, by the Director.
(4)A determination by the Director under this section shall have effect as an agreement between the sewerage undertakers in question but may be varied or revoked by a subsequent determination made by the Director on the application of either of those undertakers, as well as by agreement between the undertakers.
(5)In making a determination under this section, the Director shall have regard to the desirability of a sewerage undertaker’s recovering the costs resulting from its allowing the sewers of other sewerage undertakers to communicate with its sewers or to discharge into its sewage disposal works and of securing a reasonable return on its capital.
