Local Government Act 1974

Water supply by territorial authorities - Powers of council in regard to waterworks

378: Control of source of water supply

You could also call this:

"Councils can control where people's water comes from"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law says a council can control where water comes from for people's water supply. You need to know that this rule is part of the council's powers to manage waterworks. A law called the Local Government Act 2002 changed this rule, and it is no longer in effect as of 1 July 2003, because of section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002, which you can find on the legislation website.
