2014 CHAPTER 21

Schedules

Schedule 3: Sewerage licences: authorisations

335.This Schedule inserts a new Schedule 2B into the WIA which outlines the authorisations under the sewerage licence. These provisions will be changed on the commencement of Schedule 5. Schedule 5 will remove the words that restrict the operation of sewerage licences to undertaker areas wholly or mainly in England, and confer functions as regards undertaker areas wholly or mainly in Wales on the Welsh Ministers and Ofwat.

336.Paragraph 1 defines a retail authorisation in a sewerage licence as allowing the licensee to use the sewerage system of a sewerage undertaker for the purposes of providing retail services (e.g. billing, meter reading, customer services, etc.).

337.Paragraph 2 and 3 stipulate that a sewerage licensee cannot serve household premises. The same meaning of household premises applies for sewerage as for water supply. Paragraph 4 permits Ofwat, with the approval of the Secretary of State, to produce guidance defining eligible premises.

338.Paragraph 5 defines a wholesale authorisation in a sewerage licence as allowing a licensee to remove matter from the system of a sewerage undertaker to treat and dispose of it on behalf of itself or another licensee providing customers with sewerage services corresponding to that disposal.

339.Paragraphs 6 and 7 define a disposal authorisation in a sewerage licence as allowing a licensee to remove matter from the sewerage system of a sewerage undertaker to treat, dispose of, or otherwise use it. The Government’s intention is to create a market for alternative sources of water (for example the supply of recycled water) and sewage sludge (for example for energy production, fertiliser manufacturing etc). If the holder of a disposal authorisation also holds a retail authorisation it must also hold a wholesale authorisation. This is so that sewage corresponding to sewage from premises served by a licensee is dealt with via a wholesale authorisation rather than a disposal authorisation.

340.Paragraphs 8 and 9 define a person that is associated with the licensee.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
