The Northumbrian and North East Water (Amendment of Local Enactments Etc.) Order 1996

Made

15th March 1996

Coming into force

1st April 1996

Whereas provision is made in relation to Northumbrian Water Limited (“Northumbrian”) and North East Water Plc (“North East”) 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) replacing North East as a water undertaker with effect from 1st April 1996;

And whereas by virtue of that variation Northumbrian will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole of the area for which Northumbrian and North East each hold appointments as water undertakers;

And whereas with effect from 1st April 1996 North East will transfer properties, rights and liabilities to Northumbrian by a transfer scheme under Schedule 2 to the Water Industry Act 1991;

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the purposes of the above-mentioned variation and transfer scheme that provision be made corresponding to provisions originally made by Schedule 26 to the Water Act 1989(2) and that local statutory provisions relating to Northumbrian and North East be amended or repealed;

Now therefore the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Water Industry Act 1991, hereby makes the following Order:
