Rules adopted by Kaywanna Bore Water Board on 16th June 2004

2. Supply points shall be located within the holding for which they are allocated.

3. Supply entitlements shall not be transferred from one holding to another.

The land owner shall pay for the longer pipelines associated with supply points except that a supply point closest to the domestic demand point will be installed as Board works.
