Act: Provide for the vesting in the county council of the administrative county of Anglesey of the existing water undertakings

ACT: Provide for the vesting in the county council of the administrative county of Anglesey of the existing water undertakings in that county to empower the said county water throughout the county and for other purposes.

England and Wales benefits from an efficient and effective water and sewerage industry. Virtually every household has a continuous supply of piped water of very high quality and connection to a mains sewerage system. The industry’s development path can be traced to the beginnings of the early nineteenth century. It has been shaped by the industrial revolution,urbanisation, increasing demand driven by economic development and everhigher environmental standards. Government policy is delivered through Acts of Parliament, associated secondary legislation and through guidance to regulators since privatisation. This is then enforced by the legal system. For this reason, the development of the water and sewerage industry through the second half of the twentieth century appears as a succession of various Acts. The water industry was highly fragmented in the period up to and after the Second World War. Development of the industry had been largely inresponse to a growing population and increasing demand for water driven by the industrial revolution and accompanying economic growth. In 1945 there were more than 1,000 bodies involved in the supply of waterand around 1,400 bodies responsible for sewerage and sewage disposal. Most of these were local authorities. The focus of post-war legislation had two main aims. Firstly, to consolidatethe local authority undertakings to enable each supplier to benefit from improved arrangements for the supply of water and secondly, to make provision for public investment to extend the water and sanitation services torural communities.
