# The Private Water Supplies (Scotland) Regulations 1992, Regulation 7: Revocation and modification of authorisations


(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the Secretary of State may at any time modify or revoke an authorisation (whether or not the authorisation is expressed to be granted for a specified period); and regulations 4 to 6 shall apply with suitable adaptations in relation to the modification of an authorisation.
(2) The Secretary of State shall not revoke or modify an authorisation without giving at least six months' notice of his intention to do so by—
(a) serving notice of the revocation or modification on any relevant person on whose application the authorisation was granted;
(b) publishing a notice of the revocation or modification in such manner as the Secretary of State considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of relevant persons; and
(c) serving a copy of the notice on any islands or district council in whose area are situated any premises which are served by the private supply to which the authorisation applies or the source of that supply,
but he may revoke or modify an authorisation without notice if it appears to him that the immediate revocation or modification of the authorisation is required in the interests of public health.
(3) A person on whose application an authorisation has been granted shall notify the Secretary of State as soon as he is aware that the circumstances which gave rise to the application for the authorisation cease to exist; and notwithstanding paragraph (2), the Secretary of State shall thereupon revoke the authorisation.
