EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is the eighth commencement order made under the Water Act 2014 (c.21) (“the 2014 Act”) in relation to England and Wales.
Article 2 commences provisions in the 2014 Act amending provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991 (c.56) which allow a water or sewerage undertaker’s non-household customers to notify the undertaker that water supply or sewerage services to their premises are instead to be provided by a water supply or sewerage licensee. The notice is to specify the time after which the undertaker will no longer be required to provide water supply or sewerage services to those premises. Article 3 contains a transitional provision so that the notice served cannot specify a date prior to 1st April 2017.
