7.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (4), the Secretary of State may at any time modify or revoke an authorisation (whether or not the authorisation is expressed to be given for a specified period); and regulation 6 shall apply as respects the modification of an authorisation as it applies as respects the giving of an authorisation.
(2) The Secretary of State shall not revoke or modify an authorisation without giving at least six months' notice of his intention to do so to–
(a)the water undertaker to which the authorisation relates; and
(b)the appropriate local authority;
but he may revoke or modify an authorisation without notice if it appears to him that the immediate revocation or modification of the authorisation is required in the interests of public health.
(3) In paragraph (2) “appropriate local authority” means any of the following authorities if any premises in relation to which the authorisation applies fall within the area of that authority, namely–
(a)the Common Council of the City of London;
(b)a London borough council;
(c)a district council.
(4) A water undertaker on whose application an authorisation has been given under this Part shall notify the Secretary of State as soon as the circumstances which gave rise to the application for the authorisation cease to exist; and, notwithstanding paragraph (2), the Secretary of State shall thereupon revoke the authorisation.
