This Order amends the Clyde River Purification Board (Establishment) Order 1975 by reducing the total membership of the Board and altering the proportions of members appointed respectively by the Secretary of State, the regional council and the district councils lying wholly or partly within the Board's area. The total number of members is reduced from 51 to 20, with 10 appointed by the Secretary of State (7 fewer than at present), 5 by the regional council and 5 by the district councils (both 12 fewer than at present). Provision is made terminating all current appointments in preparation for this structural change and consequential amendment is made to the 1975 Order regarding the appointment of new local authority members.

The Order also revokes article 3(4)(d) of the 1975 Order providing for substitute local authority members.
