“This rule explains how to collect money for managing water, even though the old law changed.”

If someone set special charges for using water during the year that ended on 30 June 1992, these charges can still be collected. This is true even though the law that allowed these charges to be set (called the Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967) has been replaced by a new law. You can think of it like this: even though the old rules have changed, the money owed under those old rules still needs to be paid.
