The Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by section 3(3) of the Value Added Tax Act 1983(1) and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Order:

1. This Order may be cited as the Value Added Tax (Water) Order 1989 and shall come into force on 1st August 1989.

(This note is not part of the Order)
