Paragraph 67 Water supplies
The following may not be connected to the public water supply unless the criteria specified in sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied—
a new work, plant or equipment constructed or installed as part of authorised works;
any other work, plant or equipment constructed or installed on a temporary basis for the purposes of construction work.
The criteria are that—
the site controller has provided to the Secretary of State—
details of things done, or proposed to be done, to improve or reinforce offsite potable water infrastructure capacity (“water actions”);
if the water actions have not yet been carried out, evidence that any licence or other authorisation required under an enactment to enable the water actions to be carried out has been granted to or obtained by the person who is to carry them out;
evidence that the carrying out of the water actions has ensured, or will ensure, that the connection to the public water supply of—
that work, plant or equipment, and
any other authorised works that have been constructed, or will be required to be constructed before Grand Opening may take place in accordance with condition 69 (core capacity and features of ERC),
will not result in any water undertaker being unable to comply with its duty under section 37(1) of the Water Industry Act 1991f1;
the Secretary of State, having ascertained that the connection referred to in paragraph (a)(iii) will not adversely affect the integrity of any European site, has notified the site controller that those authorised works may connect to the public water supply.
