Where the holder of a licence has —
failed to comply with any condition, express or implied, subject to which the licence was granted;
abstracted or used ground water in excess of that authorised or has used ground water for a purpose not authorised by grant; or
committed an offence against this Act, the Authority may, by notice in writing addressed to the holder, declare the licence to be terminated: Provided that where the default is one capable of being remedied, the Authority shall first serve on the holder notice in writing specifying the default and requiring the holder to remedy the same within such time as may be specified in the notice and if the default is so remedied the Authority shall not declare the licence terminated.
In the case where a breach under paragraph (b) of subsection (1) occurs, the licence holder shall have committed an offence under section 61 on account of that licence holder’s wasteful use.
