Confusing 'Domestic' with 'Commercial': Ensure you are stopping water for a home, not a shop or office.
Thinking it is automatic: Submission does not mean immediate action; processing time is needed.
Not knowing who to send it to: While Courts Service issues it, the Local Authority usually processes it.
Mistaking temporary vs. permanent: This form implies a definitive stop based on the Act's scope.
