For the purposes of the record of the meeting, amendment No. 7 provides that each local authority shall endeavour to put in place district metering systems for water management and to identify faults, leaks or other deficiencies in water distribution. It also provides that a metering authority, defined in the Bill to mean the national water utility, may carry out water metering functions but only where they concern district metering and in co-operation with the national water framework.
