You could also call this:

"Rules for water services bylaws in a water risk plan"

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

When you look at a source water risk management plan, it might include a proposal about bylaws for water services. This proposal could be about making a new bylaw, changing an existing one, or getting rid of one altogether, as mentioned in section 258. You can find more information about what this proposal means by looking at section 261.

A source water risk management plan is a special kind of plan that helps manage risks to our water supply. If you want to know more about what a source water risk management plan is, you can check out section 5 of the Water Services Act 2021. This will give you a better understanding of what it's all about.

When a territorial authority makes a proposal about bylaws, section 261 will apply to that proposal, which is part of the plan to manage risks to our water supply.
