Guideline for establishing and administering stock and domestic allowance for riparian water users in resource operation plan areas
This guideline deals with the agreement that may be made between a resource operations licence holder or a distribution operations licence holder within a water supply scheme (licensee) and a riparian water user within the scheme concerning the adjustment to be made to the riparian water user's metered water use for the stock or domestic water taken through the licensee's meter under the authorisation provided by section 20(3) of the Water Act 2000 (Water Act).
The guideline applies to each water supply scheme mentioned in a resource operations plan, if the plan has provisions requiring arrangements, or otherwise where a licensee and a riparian water user agree to enter into an arrangement, to allow adjustments to be made to metered water use for water taken under section 20(3) of the Water Act.
