Anglian Water Authority was formed in 1974 by virtue of the Water Act 1973 as one of the regional water authorities.
It established its headquarters in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. The authority boundary was the pre-existing boundaries of the constituent river authorities whose total area made Anglian Water Authority the largest of the ten newly created Authorities. It subsumed the roles and responsibilities of:

East Suffolk and Norfolk River Authority
Essex River Authority (except the part of the area of the Essex River Authority which was included in the area of the Thames Water Authority)
Great Ouse River Authority
Lincolnshire River Authority
Welland and Nene River Authority
It also took over sewage treatment and sewerage responsibilities of all the local authorities in the area with the exception of:

Dunstable
Gainsborough
Glanford Brigg
Houghton Regis
Thurrock
It also became responsible for the water supply functions previously exercised by the following:

Ipswich Corporation
Buckingham Corporation
Norwich Corporation
Bedfordshire Water Board
Bucks Water Board
Colchester and District Water Board
East Lincolnshire Water Board
Ely, Mildenhall and Newmarket Water Board
Higham Ferrers and Rushden Water Board

Demise


In 1989, the privatisation of the water industry in England and Wales saw the creation of Anglian Water who took over the water treatment and supply and sewerage and sewage disposal functions. All the remaining regulatory functions including flood control, water quality management, pollution control and water resource management were transferred to the newly created National Rivers Authority, which was subsequently subsumed into the new Environment Agency in 1996.
