I mentioned earlier - some people came in after I said it - that the water company will need to have due regard to the plans of local and regional authorities. In other words, it cannot decide without consultation. Senator Landy made a good point: how will the company report back so that we know what is going on? We cannot have the water company turning up at every meeting of county councils and other bodies. Accountability on a customer basis is required. We must work out a transparent, accountable system, so that local authority members have access to the answers they need about their county. There must be two-way messages all the time. Regional authorities have an important function as well, because we are talking about plans based on river basins. We will consider all these points and return to the Senators before actual decisions are made in this regard.
