Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement Council Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption (O.J. No L330, 5.12.1998, p.32) in relation to private water supplies. A “private supply” is defined in section 93(1) of the Water Industry Act 1991 as a supply that is provided otherwise than by a water undertaker or a licensed water supplier.
These Regulations amend the Private Water Supplies (Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/66 (W.16)), by inserting in Schedule 4 the date by which the local authorities have to prepare initial records in accordance with regulation 13.
A full impact assessment has been prepared for the Private Water Supplies (Wales) Regulations 2010. A copy of which can be obtained from the Climate Change and Water Division of the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
