Abstract

These Regulations provide for certain matters relative to the requirement of water undertakers to grant licensed water suppliers access to their supply systems under certain conditions and for certain purposes. A retail licence permits a licensed water supplier to use a water undertaker's supply system to supply water to eligible premises of customers. A combined licence additionally permits a licensed water supplier to introduce water into a water undertaker's supply system in order to supply that water to eligible premises of customers. The Act enables the Secretary of State, after consulting the National Assembly for Wales, to determine standard conditions in water supply licences. Once water supply licences have been granted, the Act permits standard licence conditions to be modified only in certain circumstances. Section 17J of the Act enables the Water Services Regulation Authority to modify standard licence conditions if certain conditions are fulfilled. Article 3 of this Order specifies the relevant percentages. Modifications to standard licence conditions cannot proceed without a reference to the Competition Commission if objections are made by twenty percent or more of relevant licence holders measured by number or by market share. Article 4 of this Order specifies how each relevant licence holder will be weighted for the purposes of measuring market share.
