Help stop illegal water activities

While most water users follow the rules and meet requirements, some people carry out illegal water activities—sometimes these actions are deliberate and sometimes they happen because people do not know the law.

Water theft and harming a water source can threaten water supplies for legitimate water users and harm the environment, and are serious crimes.

To make a confidential report on any suspicious activities, contact the Natural Resources Access Regulator:
