You can't do certain things to waterworks or you might break the law. A law called the Local Government Act 1974 has rules to protect water and waterworks. This part of the law is about what happens if you do something wrong to waterworks.

You should know that this law has been changed, and this part is no longer valid. It was repealed on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002. This means you won't get in trouble for breaking this specific rule because it doesn't exist anymore.
