The Water (Local Statutory Provisions) (Consequential Amendments) Order 1989
This Order is consequential upon the Water Act 1989. It substitutes for references in local statutory provisions to water authorities, references to the relevant water undertaker or sewerage undertaker, as the case may be, where the provision in question relates to functions, property, rights or liabilities which are transferred to the undertaker by or under the 1989 Act (article 3(1)). Where functions, property, rights or liabilities are transferred to the National Rivers Authority, references in local statutory provisions to water authorities are replaced by references to that Authority (article 3(2)).
