Guidance: Abstraction outside the authorised period for filling water storage reservoirs: RPS 382

Imported from official source

This regulatory position statement (RPS) does not change your legal requirement to have and comply with an abstraction licence where one is required when you either:

  • abstract water from any source of supply
  • cause or permit any other person to abstract any water
  • However, the Environment Agency will not normally take enforcement action if you do not comply with this legal requirement if you meet the requirements in this RPS.

    This is an extract. The publication continues at the source.
