Chapter 3.Regulation of the Water Industry
Provision of public sewers: premises in Wales
Section 41: Disputes about the provision of public sewers: premises in Wales

175.This section amends section 101A of the WIA so as to make provision about the determination of disputes about the provision of a public sewer in Wales. Under section 101A, owners or occupiers of properties served by private sewerage treatment systems that are not connected to a public sewer may apply to the sewerage undertaker for the area where the premises is located for connection to a public sewer under the conditions prescribed by section 101A.

176.The undertaker must decide whether it believes it has a duty to provide a public sewer. If the sewerage undertaker and the owner or occupier do not agree about there being a duty or other specified matters, the dispute resolution provisions of section 101A apply.

177.In Wales, the dispute determination role now rests with the Natural Resources Body for Wales. The section gives that role to the Welsh Ministers, or a person they appoint, and requires the Natural Resources Body for Wales to advise the parties and the person determining the dispute, if asked. Because of the Natural Resources Body for Wales’ role, the section provides for persons appointed to determine disputes to be independent of the Natural Resources Body for Wales.

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.
