Local Government Act 1974

Regional water supply

404: Surplus water may be sold for motive power

You could also call this:

"Selling extra water for energy is no longer allowed"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

You can sell extra water for motive power, but this rule is no longer in use. It was stopped on 1 July 1992 by section 42(1) of the Local Government Amendment Act 1992. This means you cannot use this rule to sell surplus water for motive power now.
