SEPT. 6.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2501

(b) To the Telegraph Engineer, seven days’ notice:
Provided that notice to the Telegraph Engineer
shall not be necessary where there is no telegraph-
line within 5 chains of the proposed additional
installation or alteration unless such electric line is—
(i) An extra-high pressure electric line; or
(ii) At a street intersection.
(3) If before an initial installation, or additional installation,
is used for conveying, transmitting, or distributing electrical
energy any variation is made or intended to be made in the
erecting, or laying, or construction thereof from the plans and
other particulars accompanying any notices given under
clause (1) or clause (2) hereof, then before erecting, or laying, or
constructing any work in accordance with such variation the
licensee shall give the like notices of such variation as are
required by clause (1) or clause (2) hereof (as the case may
be):
Provided that this clause shall not apply in the case of an
electrical line of medium pressure or any lower pressure.
(4) Nothing in this regulation shall require notice of
maintenance work not amounting to an alteration as herein
defined.
(5) No extra-high pressure electric line shall be erected until
the route has been approved in writing.
22-22. (1) Every notice required by the last preceding
regulation shall be in writing.
(2) Every such notice shall be accompanied by a plan
(or plans) showing the location of all electric lines proposed
to be erected, the material of the covering (if any), the height
of the poles or other supports (if any), and the pressure at
which it is proposed to operate such lines.
(3) Every notice to be given to the Chief Electrical Engineer
under clause (1) or clause (2) of the last preceding regulation
shall also be accompanied by a statement, in such form as the
Minister directs, of the calculated strength of all line supports.
(4) If any aerial conductor of a size other than that men-
tioned in the tables of sags and tensions set out in Division VIII
hereof is proposed to be used, the notice to be given to the
Chief Electrical Engineer as aforesaid shall also be accompanied
by a table giving in respect of such conductor similar par-
ticulars to those given in the tables in the said Division.
(5) The plan (or plans) showing the location of the lines shall
be on a white ground of durable material, and be prepared
to a scale of not less than 1 in. to a mile. All plans shall,
wherever practicable, be supplied in foolscap size, but where
that size is not practicable they shall be supplied in sections
not greater than 22 in. by 30 in.
(6) All locality plans shall have the north point marked
thereon and shall contain sufficient information to enable
the locality to be readily identified on a survey map. In
showing the pressure at which it is proposed to operate the
electric lines the following colours shall be used on all plans:—
(a) Blue to indicate extra-high pressure over 11,000 volts;
and
(b) Red to indicate extra-high pressure not over 11,000
volts; and
(c) Yellow to indicate high pressure; and
(d) Green to indicate medium pressure and any lower
pressure.

INSPECTION.

22-31. (1) Before using any initial installation, or any
additional installation, to which clause (2) of Regulation
22-21 hereof applies, for conveying, transmitting, or dis-
tributing electrical energy (otherwise than for testing purposes
as may be required by the Chief Electrical Engineer or the
Telegraph Engineer), the licensee shall, for the purpose
of enabling inspections to be made of such installation or
any part thereof, give the following notices of completion
of the work of erection, or construction:—
(a) To the Chief Electrical Engineer, one month’s notice;
and
(b) To the Telegraph Engineer, one month’s notice:
Provided that such notice may be given prior to the actual
completion of the work if the estimated date of completion
be set out in the notice.
(2) Each of the notices to be given under clause (1) of
this regulation shall be accompanied by a plan of the lines
to be inspected, setting out such details as are necessary to
show routes completed and pressure at which it is proposed to
operate the electric lines. Every such plan shall be in
accordance with the requirements of clause (5) and clause (6)
of Regulation 22-22 hereof.
22-32. The licensee shall not, without the written permission
of the Minister, use any initial installation for conveying,
transmitting, or distributing electrical energy (otherwise
than for testing purposes as may be required by the Chief
Electrical Engineer or the Telegraph Engineer) until the
licensee has received from the Minister notice in writing that
the Inspecting Engineer has certified to him that the work of
erection and construction hereof has been satisfactorily
carried out.
22-33. (1) The licensee shall not use any additional
installation, or resume after alteration thereof the use of any
electric line, unless the work of erection, or laying, or con-
struction, or alteration thereof (as the case may be) has been
carried out in strict conformity with the requirements of these
regulations and, in the case of high pressure or extra-high
pressure lines, unless the licensee shall have given to the
Telegraph Engineer notice in writing at least seven days
before the lines are so used of the intention of the licensee so
to use the lines.
(2) If an Inspecting Engineer is at any time of opinion
that the erection, or laying, or construction, or alteration of
any line used pursuant to clause (1) of this regulation has not
been carried out in strict conformity with the requirements of
these regulations, the Minister may, by notice in writing:—
(a) Call upon the licensee forthwith to discontinue the use
of such line until the Minister is satisfied that the
requirements of these regulations have been complied
with, and upon receipt of such notice it shall not
thereafter be lawful for the licensee to use such line
until the licensee has received from the Minister
notice in writing that the Minister is so satisfied; or
(b) Call upon the licensee forthwith to carry out, within
such time as may be specified in such notice, such
work as may be necessary to make the line comply
with the requirements of these regulations; and
after the expiration of the time specified in
such notice it shall not be lawful for the licensee
to use such line until the licensee has received from
the Minister notice in writing that the Minister is
satisfied that the line has been made to comply
with the requirements of these regulations.
