"Water organisations must report what they've done every six months"

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

If you are part of a water organisation, you must make a report every six months. This report is called a water services half-yearly report and it tells people about what your organisation has been doing. You have to include certain information in the report that your organisation's statement of expectations says is necessary.

You must give this report to the people who own shares in your organisation within eight months of the start of the financial year. This means you have to finish the report and give it to the shareholders by then. The report is about what your organisation did in the first six months of the financial year.
