Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 101(2) of the Water Act 1989 provides for the replacement of provisions relating to the constitution and regulation of a statutory water company contained in its local Acts and Orders by provisions contained in a memorandum and articles which have been approved by special resolution of the members of the company. The replacement provisions have effect only if they are approved by the Secretary of State and come into force on such date as he determines.
This Order approves a proposal by The Portsmouth Water Company that a memorandum and articles of association should have effect in substitution for provisions contained in the Portsmouth Water Acts and Orders 1857 to 1986 (article 2). It also provides that the date on which those provisions cease to have effect is 31st August 1990 (article 3) and for the repeal of the superseded provisions and for consequential repeals (article 4).
This Order is associated with the company’s proposal to convert to the status of a registered company under the Companies Act 1985.
