WATER SUPPLY, SCOTLAND

Section 72(4) of the Water (Scotland) Act 1980 provides that byelaws made under section 70 of that Act (which re-enacted section 60 of the Water (Scotland) Act 1946) shall cease to have effect 10 years after they were made, but permits that period to be extended. In terms of Schedule 9 to the 1980 Act, byelaws made under section 60 of the 1946 Act have effect as if made under section 70 of the 1980 Act. This Order postpones the expiry of byelaws made under section 60, which would otherwise expire, until 31st December 1988.
