Section 110C: Codes in respect of main connection agreements

Water Industry Act 1991 · 1991 c. 56View on legislation.gov.uk

Part IV: SEWERAGE SERVICES — chapter II: PROVISION OF SEWERAGE SERVICES

The Authority may issue one or more codes in respect of main connection agreements.

A code may make provision about—

procedures in connection with making an agreement to permit a main connection into a sewerage undertaker's sewerage system;
procedures in connection with varying or terminating a main connection agreement;
procedures to be followed by the Authority in determining whether to make an order under section 110A(3) or 110B(1);
the terms and conditions of a main connection agreement, including terms as to the duration of such an agreement;
principles for determining the terms and conditions that should or should not be incorporated into a main connection agreement;
the steps to be taken by the Authority in determining whether a person is complying with the code.

If the Authority considers that a sewerage undertaker is not acting as required by a code, the Authority may give the undertaker a direction to do, or not to do, a particular thing specified in the direction.

The Authority may not give a direction under subsection (3) requiring a person to enter into, vary or terminate an agreement.

It is the duty of a sewerage undertaker to comply with a direction under subsection (3), and this duty is enforceable by the Authority under section 18.

A code may make different provision for different persons or different descriptions of person.

The Authority may from time to time revise a code issued under this section and issue a revised code.

A revised code may include provision for applying any of its revisions to main connection agreements made before the revised code comes into force.
