FURTHER INFORMATION:

If water is to be sourced from a river, lake, ocean or bore hole, rather than the water mains, and is to be used as a coolant and not reused for heating (i.e. is discharged back into the water body), a Water Extraction Licence, and possibly a Foreshore Licence, licence will be required. Applications for a Water Extraction Licence are made to the local authority, and a copy of the granted application will need to be supplied to the CER. Applications for a Foreshore Licence, if required, are made to the Coastal Zone Management Division of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources.

A local authority may issue a notice under Section 23 of the Water Pollution Act 1977, requesting specific information to be provided in relation to water abstractions being carried in its area. Local authorities must keep a register of water abstractions greater than 25 cubic meters per day.
