RELAXATIONS

RELAXATIONS OF THE Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 or scottish water byelaws 2004 RELATING TO public Water SupplieS IN ENGLAND, WALES and Scotland

Where Water Suppliers consider any requirement of the Scottish Water Byelaws in Scotland, or of Schedule 2 to the Water Fittings Regulations in England and Wales, would be inappropriate in relation to a particular case or class of cases, they can ask the relevant Regulator to vary the requirement or apply alternative requirements, known as Relaxations (Byelaw/Regulation 11). 

Relaxations may be sought by one or more Water Suppliers as appropriate to the case.  With their written consent, WRAS has represented Water Suppliers in seeking relaxations from the Secretary of State and the Welsh Assembly.  Requests from Scottish Water are considered by the Scottish Ministers.

No relaxations have been granted under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009.

The following table summarises relaxations which have been granted. [Last updated: 21st June 2012
