(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 168 of the Water Resources Act 1991 enables the Environment Agency to apply for an order conferring compulsory works powers. Section 167 of the Water Industry Act 1991 makes similar provision for water undertakers. Both the Environment Agency and water undertakers are required to serve notice on certain persons when they apply for such orders.
These Regulations, which supersede and revoke the Water (Compulsory Works Powers) (Notice) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/1409), name certain additional bodies on whom notice must be served when the application relates to an order which authorises the stopping-up or diversion of a footpath or bridleway.
