(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force the provisions of section 67 of the Water Act 2003; sections 69 and 75 of the Act in relation to Wales; and consequential amendments and repeals.
Section 67 of the Act inserts new sections 16A and 16B into the Environment Act 1995. New section 16A enables the National Assembly for Wales, by order made by statutory instrument, to make provision, subject to conditions, determining the total number of members, and the method of selection and appointment of the chairman and other members of Welsh regional flood defence committees, and to make provision for such supplementary purposes as the National Assembly for Wales considers appropriate.
Section 69 repeals sections 147 to 149 of the Water Resources Act 1991 so as to remove any doubt that drainage and flood warning grants to the Agency may be paid under section 47 of the Environment Act 1995.
Section 75 amends the Reservoirs Act 1975 to extend the enforcement authority’s reserve powers in the event of non-compliance by a reservoir undertaker with certain requirements.
