THE HEATHCOTE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTARY WATER-SUPPLY BY-LAWS, 1914.

IN pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in it by the Heathcote Road Board Waterworks Act, 1909, and of all and each and every other power in that behalf enabling it, the Chairman, Councillors, and Inhabitants of the County of Heathcote, by way of special order, makes and ordains this by-law.

Short Title.

1. The title of this by-law shall be “The Heathcote County Supplementary Water-supply By-laws, 1914.”

Supplementary to by-laws passed in 1913.

2. This by-law is intended to supplement “The Heathcote County By-law No. 1, 1913”; and By-laws Nos. 178 to 225 (inclusive) thereof, together with that part of the by-law relating to the imposition of penalties and to the interpretation of words and phrases, shall be read with and be part of these by-laws: Provided that in case the meaning of these by-laws shall in anywise conflict with the meaning of the by-laws passed in 1913, then the meaning of these by-laws shall prevail.

Interpretation clause.

3. In these by-laws, if not inconsistent with the context,—
   “Consumer” shall include any person or persons, firm, or limited company using, consuming, or entitled to use or consume water supplied from the Council’s waterworks.

Formal application necessary.

4. Applicants for water-supply shall make application in one of the forms in the Schedule hereto, as the case may require, at the Council’s offices.

5. In the event of the Inspector not approving any pipe, tap, cock, meter, or other apparatus of the consumer, he shall give notice in writing to the consumer specifying the alterations, additions, or removals that the apparatus may in his opinion require, and in the event of the consumer failing to comply with such request he shall be deemed to have committed an offence upon every day in which the default shall continue.

Meters.

6. The Council shall be under no obligation to supply a meter to any consumer, and the Council may require any consumer (whether using ordinary or extraordinary supply, or both) to provide a meter, and all meters shall be fixed or removed by the Council exclusively, but at the consumer’s expense, and shall be of such design, quality, and workmanship as may be approved by the Council, and no meter shall be used that has not been approved as aforesaid.

Ordinary supply.

7. Any water supplied and used for any of the following strictly domestic purposes shall be deemed to be ordinary water-supply—that is to say, water for the use of any consumer and his family, and other inmates of his dwelling for the time being, including water for use in private urinals and private baths, private water-closets and private wash-houses: Provided that such ordinary supply to any consumer shall be limited according to and vary proportionally to the annual value of the tenement supplied—that is to say, the annual ordinary supply to any tenement shall be limited according to the following scale, and shall be an annual supply:—

Rating for ordinary supply.

9. In respect of ordinary supply the water rates shall be such as the Council shall from time to time make and levy in accordance with, and subject to, the limitations in that behalf imposed by statutes in that behalf and the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908. Such rates shall not exceed the rates in this section hereinafter mentioned, that is to say,—
   (a.) Upon all lands and buildings to which water is supplied whose annual rateable value on the valuation roll does not exceed twelve pounds ten shillings—ten shillings per annum.

When such annual rateable value exceeds twelve pounds ten shillings the rate shall not exceed seven pounds per centum on the first one hundred pounds of such value, and six pounds per centum on the second hundred of such value, and five pounds per centum on the third hundred of such value, and four pounds per centum on so much of such value as exceeds three hundred pounds: Provided, however, that, notwithstanding that the Council shall or may at any time levy rates at lower rates per centum than as above expressed, in no case shall the rate for an ordinary supply be less than ten shillings per annum.

(b.) Upon all lands and buildings to which water can be but is not supplied, situate within one hundred yards from any part of the waterworks—a rate not exceeding one-half of the rates above mentioned.

(c.) Upon all buildings used as stores or warehouses for any purpose other than as dwellinghouses—two pounds ten shillings per centum on the rateable value.
