Commentary on Sections Part 1: Abstraction and Impounding 93. .Section 31: Bulk supplies.
This section permits the EA, in consultation with the Authority, to propose to a water undertaker that they enter into a bulk supply agreement with another water undertaker where that is necessary for the proper use of water resources. The Agency would be able to take any refusal to enter into such a bulk supply agreement into account when considering whether to grant abstraction and impounding licences.
94.Provisions in this section are devolved to the Assembly.
