The Suffolk and Essex Water (Amendment of Local Enactments etc.) Order 1994

Made

29th March 1994

Coming into force

31st March 1994

Whereas provision is made in relation to Suffolk Water plc (“Suffolk”) in local statutory provisions;

And whereas the Director General of Water Services has made a variation under section 8 of the Water Industry Act 1991(1) (“the Act”) replacing Suffolk as a water undertaker;

And whereas by virtue of that variation Essex Water plc (“Essex”) will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole area for which Suffolk holds an appointment as the water undertaker;

And whereas Suffolk has transferred all of its properties, rights and liabilities to Essex by a transfer scheme under Schedule 2 to the Act;

And whereas it appears to the Secretary of State appropriate for the purposes of the above–mentioned variation and transfer scheme that provision be made corresponding to provisions originally made by Schedule 26 to the Water Act 1989(2) and that local statutory provisions relating to Suffolk be amended or repealed;

Now therefore the Secretary of State, in exercise of powers conferred on him by paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Act, hereby makes the following Order:
