  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nSection 12(1) of the Statutory Water Companies Act 1991 provides for the replacement of provisions relating to the constitution and regulation of a statutory water company contained in local legislation by provisions contained in a memorandum and articles which have been approved by special resolution of the members of the company. The replacement provisions have effect only if they are approved by the Secretary of State and come into force on such date as he determines.\nThis Order approves a proposal by the Hartlepools Water Company that a memorandum and articles of association should have effect in substitution for provisions contained in the Company’s local Orders (article 2). It also provides that the date on which the memorandum and articles of association replace those provisions is 14th February 1995 (article 3) and for the repeal of the superseded provisions and for consequential repeals (article 4).\nThe Order is associated with the Company’s proposal to convert to the status of a registered water company under the Companies Act 1985.",
