PART 10Functions of local authorities in relation to water quality

Application and interpretation of this Part

36.—(1) This Part applies to the performance by a local authority of its duty under section 77(1) of the Act insofar as that duty relates to water supplies which are not private supplies.

(2) In this Part, “specified relevant supplier” in relation to a local authority means—

(a)a water undertaker any of whose water supply zones includes an area which is situated within the area of that authority;

(b)a licensed water supplier which uses any such water supply zones for the purposes of supplying water to consumers.

Duties of local authorities: supplementary provision

37.—(1) In performing its duty under section 77(1) of the Act, a local authority—

(a)must make arrangements with the specified relevant supplier to secure that the authority is notified as mentioned in regulation 35(6)(a)(i);

(b)may take or cause to be taken, and analyse or cause to be analysed, by a person, designated by that authority in writing, such samples of the water supplied to premises in its area as that authority may reasonably require.

(2) Regulation 16 applies to samples taken by virtue of paragraph (1) as it applies to samples taken for the purposes of Parts 4 and 5 of these Regulations but with the following modifications—

(a)paragraph (1) is to be read as if for the words “water undertaker or combined licensee” there were to be substituted the words “local authority”;

(b)paragraph (2)(e)(i) is to be read as if for the words “the water undertaker or the combined licensee” there were to be substituted “the water undertaker, the combined licensee or the local authority”.
