If you pay an infringement fee for doing something wrong with water services, you pay it to the territorial authority. This is the group that appointed the person who gave you the infringement notice. Sometimes, you pay the water organisation instead, but only if the territorial authority has given them this job, as stated in section 271(2). You pay the fee to the group that the compliance officer belongs to.
