If you are a territorial authority, this section applies to you if you submit a water services delivery plan under section 78(1) and then you want to make a structural change to the way you provide water services in your district. You will need to follow certain rules when making this change. These rules are outlined in sections 27 to 33 which will apply to your proposed change.

When you propose a structural change, section 22 of the Preliminary Arrangements Act does not apply if you decide to make the change. This only applies to the parts of the change that you decide to make. You should be aware of how these rules affect your decision to make a structural change to the provision of water services in your district.

You will need to consider these rules when making your decision, as they outline the process you must follow to make a structural change to the way you provide water services.
