Organisations do not have to provide any water information in the grace period. During this time, an organisation can work out what data it will need to give. This includes historical and ongoing information.
The grace period is 3 months long. It starts when we add an organisation to certain categories of the regulations – person categories A–G and L.
The grace period doesn't apply to:
- water information in Category 5 or 7. Organisations required to give this information will always have longer than 3 months between being added to a person category and when they need to start giving data
- a subcategory of information that the organisation was required to give previously due to being named in another category immediately prior. In this way, the grace period applies only once for each type of information.
Organisations start giving data after the grace period expires. The actual start date depends on whether the data is required daily, weekly, monthly or yearly data. For example, if the grace period ends after the start of a week, the requirement to give weekly information doesn’t apply until the end of the next week.
