About Consultation
This document invites comments on our proposal that South West Water Limited (South West Water) should replace Bournemouth Water Limited (Bournemouth Water) as the water supplier for Bournemouth Water’s area. The proposal is made with the support of the boards of both South West Water and Bournemouth Water. Under Section 8, of the Water Industry Act 1991 (‘the Act’), we are able to terminate a company’s licence and vary the licence of another company to supply the area previously by the company whose licence has been terminated. This document sets out the consequential modifications to South West Water’s conditions of appointment (licence) we intend making as a result of the above proposal. Section 13 allows us to modify the conditions of a company’s licence if it agrees to the change we are proposing to make. This document is a Notice under sections 8 and 13 of the Act.
