Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings into force provisions of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010f1(“the 2010 Act”).

Section 45 of the 2010 Act inserted a new section 144C into the Water Industry Act 1991f2. That section imposes a duty on owners of residential premises who do not occupy those premises to arrange for information about the occupiers to be given to the relevant water and/or sewerage undertaker.

The power of the Welsh Ministers to make regulations about the information to be given was commenced by the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 (Commencement No.1 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2010f3.

Article 2 of this Order specifies that section 45 of the 2010 Act, so far as not already commenced and in relation to undertakers whose areas are wholly or mainly in Wales, comes into force on 1 January 2015.
