Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order repeals local enactments enabling the Rickmansworth Water Company to abstract water by means of their pumping stations at Amersham, Batchworth, Berkhamsted, Blackford, Bulstrode, Chalfont St. Giles, Chartridge, Chorleywood, Deep Mill, Gerrards Cross, Hughenden, Hunton Bridge, Iver, Mill End, Springwell, Stockers, Uxbridge, West Drayton, West Hyde and Western Avenue.

The Company’s right to abstract water from these stations is governed by licences granted by the Thames Water Authority under sections 33 and 34 of the Water Resources Act 1963; and in some cases the Authority has varied the licences so as to provide for abstraction of amounts of water which differ from those permitted by the local enactments. This Order accordingly repeals those provisions which are inconsistent with the 1963 Act or the provisions of the current licences.
