Regional drainage

473: Council may undertake drainage in district of local authority

You could also call this:

"Councils can fix drainage problems in their local areas."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The council can do drainage work in the area of a local authority. You live in a district with a local authority that takes care of things like roads and water. A council can undertake drainage in your district, but this rule is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 1 July 1992 by section 46 of the Local Government Amendment Act 1992.
