They relate to the Secretary of State's decision in 1974 to increase the charges agreed in the River Lee Water Act 1855. This Act granted Thames Water Utilities Limited an entitlement to extract water from the River Lee [Lea], incurring an annual cost.
Press releases from March 2018 record the final decision and the conclusion of a 160 year old dispute
