These Regulations specify how the turnover of a water enterprise is to be determined for the purposes of section 33 of the Water Industry Act 1991 (“the Act”). The Office of Fair Trading is prohibited from making a merger reference to the Competition Commission under section 32 of the Act where the turnover of either the water enterprise being taken over or the turnover of the water enterprises owned by the person making the takeover fall within the limits set by section 33 of the Act.
