Illustration for Water Services Act 2021

When the Water Services Authority prepares or updates a national code of practice, you know they have to talk to certain people and groups. They must do this in the same way they do when preparing or updating the NEDS. The Authority has to undertake consultation with the same persons and bodies, and by the same method, as when preparing, or reviewing and updating, the NEDS.
