18Local authorities to assess bodies of waterS

(1)Every local authority must, from time to time (or when directed to do so by the Scottish Ministers)—

(ii)the authority considers that clearance and repair works would substantially reduce that risk,

prepare a schedule of those clearance and repair works.

(6)Subsection (5) does not apply where it appears to the first mentioned authority that the second mentioned authority is aware of the likelihood of the flooding.
