Severn River Authority

The Severn River Authority was one of 27 river authorities created by the Water Resources Act 1963 (1963 C. 38). It took over the powers of the existing Severn River Board and was given additional duties to monitor water quality and protect water resources.

Under the terms of the Water Act 1973 (1973 c.37), the authority was amalgamated with the Trent River Authority, along with the water supply, and sewerage and sewage disposal functions, exercised by local authorities within their areas to form the Severn Trent Water Authority in 1974.
