Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

If you are a territorial authority and you get an exemption order under section 66, this section applies to you when you start using the exemptions. You must then make information about the exemption and your use of it available to the public. This means you have to let people know that you are relying on the exemption.
