24 Discharge of water

(1) Subject to the provisions of this article, the undertaker may use any watercourse or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the carrying out or maintenance of the authorised development and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse or drain. (2) Any dispute arising from the making of connections to or the use of a watercourse or a drain by the undertaker pursuant to paragraph (1) is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 (right to communicate with public sewers) of the Water Industry Act 1991 (3) The undertaker must not discharge any water into any watercourse or drain except with the consent of the Board and in accordance with the provisions of Part 13 of Schedule 4 (protective provisions). (4) The undertaker must not make any opening into or connections with any watercourse or drain in connection with the authorised development or lay down, take up or alter pipes on any land within the Order limits or carry out any specified work except in accordance with the provisions of Part 13 of Schedule 4 and in accordance with plans approved by the Board in accordance with the provisions of Part 13 of Schedule 4 . (5) The undertaker must take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or drain pursuant to this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance, oil or matter in suspension and the authorised development does not obstruct the path of the Habrough Marsh Drain outfall channel. (6) Nothing in this article overrides the requirement for an environmental permit under regulation 12(1)(b) (requirement for environmental permit) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 in respect of a water discharge activity or groundwater activity. (7) The undertaker must not, in carrying out or maintaining any works under this article, damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse or drain without the prior written consent of the Board. (8) This article does not authorise the entry into controlled waters of any matter whose entry or discharge into controlled waters is prohibited by section 85(1), (2) or (3) (offences of polluting water) of the Water Resources Act 1991. (9) The undertaker must monitor the path of the Habrough Marsh Drain outfall channel and report to the Board annually for a period of 10 years from the commencement of the authorised development as to whether any substantial changes to the path of the Habrough Marsh Drain outfall channel have occurred as a result of the authorised development. (10) In this article expressions, excluding watercourse, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act. (11) In paragraph (4), “specified work” has the same meaning as in Part 13 of Schedule 4.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
