I move amendment No. 96:

In page 52, subsection (1)(c), line 20, after "authority" to insert "to a material extent".

Section 53 prohibits the waste of or unauthorised use of a connection to a water supply. However, this section is overly bureaucratic as it can be construed that wasting a glass of water is an equal offence to wasting 1,000 gallons.
