The law says that after a certain part of section 255, some new words are added. You can find this section by looking at the link to section 255(2). The new words say that the Minister can make some decisions about Watercare, and some other parts of the law apply to Watercare as if it were a local authority.
The Minister's powers are in sections 257 to 258E, and these apply to Watercare. Some other sections, like 256 to 258E, 258N to 258Q, and 258S to 258ZA, also apply to Watercare. This means Watercare is treated like a local authority for these parts of the law.
