Whereas provision is made in relation to North Surrey Water Limited (“North Surrey”) in local statutory provisions;
And whereas with effect from 1st October 2000 the Director General of Water Services has made a variation under section 8 of the Water Industry Act 1991( 1 ) (“the Act”) replacing North Surrey as a water undertaker;
And whereas by virtue of that variation Three Valleys Water PLC (“Three Valleys”) will hold an appointment as the water undertaker for the whole area for which North Surrey holds an appointment as a water undertaker;
And whereas with effect from 1st October 2000 North Surrey will transfer properties, rights and liabilities to Three Valleys by a transfer scheme under Schedule 2 to the Act;
