Part 2.Water Resources

Section 60: Maps of waterworks

218.This section repeals section 195 of the WRA, removing the duty on the Environment Agency and the Natural Resources Body for Wales to keep and maintain a record of the resource mains, discharge pipes and other underground works that it owns. Subsection (2) makes a consequential amendment to Schedule 23 to the WRA to allow for the fact that the records of aspects of the Environment Agency’s “undertaking” will no longer be recorded in maps kept by the Environment Agency.
