Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If you are part of a council, you can agree to use drainage works that another local authority controls. This means you can work together with another group to manage water drainage. You can find more information about this in the Local Government Act 2002, which is available on the legislation.govt.nz website, but this specific part of the law is no longer in effect as it was repealed on 1 July 2003.
