Lawyers for a northern New South Wales council are investigating claims that bottled water businesses have broken the law with recent groundwater extractions.

Tweed Shire council's planning and regulation director, Vince Connell, says the council is "carefully considering its legal options" after receiving a large number of "noncompliance" allegations from the public about water extraction businesses.
