A water authority shall make available for inspection by the public at all reasonable hours at such of its offices as are normally open to the public any record maintained by it in accordance with regulation 28.

A water authority shall provide to any person, on request, a copy of any part of a record maintained in accordance with regulation 28 and may, in respect of each copy so provided, require payment of the sum of 25 pence (each A4 sheet provided being charged as one copy).

A water authority shall, not later than 30th June in each year, commencing with the year 1991, supply to a district or islands council information in the form set out in Schedule 3 to these Regulations relating to the preceding year concerning the general quality of water supplied to premises in that council’s area, and so far as the information is relevant to the council’s area—

A water authority shall notify a district or islands council and a health board as soon as may be after the occurrence of any event which, by reason of its effect or likely effect on the water supplied by it, gives rise or is likely to give rise to a significant risk to the health of persons residing in the area of that council or board.

A council or board who have received a notification under paragraph (4) may require the water authority to provide them with such information relating to the event and its consequences as they may reasonably require.

In this regulation “health board” means a board constituted under section 2 of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978(^f1).
