Rotorua Borough By-laws Order 1955

WHEREAS by section 8 of the Rotorua Borough Act 1922, all electric light and power works theretofore provided, erected, or constructed by the Crown in or in connection with the town of Rotorua remain vested in the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, as incorporated by the Rotorua Town Act 1907 and the Rotorua Borough Act 1922;

And whereas in respect of these works the said Department has and may exercise all the powers for the time being conferred by law on borough councils, except the power to borrow money by way of special loans or to make and levy any rate;

And whereas by licences granted by the Governor-General in Council, and as published in the Gazette of the 5th day of November 1931, and the 1st day of October 1936, the said Department is authorized to generate electricity and erect electric lines within the Borough of Rotorua and portion of the County of Rotorua as set out in the Schedules of the said licences:

The said Department, pursuant to the powers hereinbefore recited, hereby makes the following Order.

O R D E R

1. (1) This order may be cited as the Rotorua Borough By-laws Order 1955.
   (2) This order shall come into force on the 7th day of December 1955.

2. The by-law made by the Department on the 17th day of March 1953 and published in the Gazette of the 19th day of March 1953 at page 472 is hereby revoked and the by-law set out in the Schedule to this order substituted therefor.

SCHEDULE

BY-LAW 35—CHARGES

The price for electrical energy supplied by the Department will be calculated on the Board of Trade unit, consisting of 1,000 watt-hours. All energy will be charged according to meter register, readings being taken to the nearest ten units, but should a supply be given before a meter is installed the consumer shall pay for current supplied during such period a sum based upon the number and capacity for lamps and other apparatus installed.

In all cases units may, at the option of the Department, be measured as kilovolt-ampere hours instead of kilowatt-hours if the power factor of the consumer’s load falls below 90 per cent.

Should the meter prove defective in any way, or be removed for testing or repair, the consumer shall pay per month for energy supplied during such period a sum based on the average former reading of the meter.

If the revenue from any existing or proposed installation does not cover the cost of supply, the Department may impose a connected-load charge in addition to the charge by meter.

Prepayment meters may be installed in any installation at the discretion of the Department.

The Department may read meters at intervals of two months or three months or at any other interval that best suits its convenience. Should a special reading be required at any time to suit the convenience of the consumer, such reading will be made or a card will be forwarded on which the consumer can enter the reading of the meter or meters, and an account will be prepared for the readings on this card. A charge may be levied to cover the cost of the special readings as above. In districts outside the Borough of Rotorua the Department may read the meters at six-month intervals and make assessed charges during intervening quarters.

Where for the reason that the premises are occupied intermittently or for any other reason a reading of the meter is not obtained at the time of the ordinary meter reading a card may be left for or sent to the consumer. This card shall be filled in by the consumer and returned to the Department to enable an account to be prepared.

Failing the receipt of the card within a period of ten days the Department will assume that the premises have been unoccupied for the last period between regular meter readings, and an account computed in accordance with section E of this by-law may be forwarded to the consumer.

In cases where the previous account or accounts have been assessed in accordance with the preceding paragraph the Department on receiving a reading of the meter may compute the consumption on the basis that the consumer has been in occupation for the whole or part of the period from the date of the last actual reading. Such computation shall not, however, prejudice the right of the consumer to certify that the premises were occupied for a greater or lesser period than that assessed by the Department. On receiving such a certificate the Department may adjust the account accordingly, provided the periods when the premises were unoccupied exceed one month continuously.

The charges for energy supplied shall be computed monthly, and shall be in accordance with the following Schedule:

Section A: Domestic

(i) For domestic lighting, heating, and power, the monthly charges shall be as follows:

First 50 units  ....... 2s. 6d. per 10 units.
Balance of units  ...... 1s. per 10 units.

Churches and Maori meeting houses shall be included under this scale. Where commercial premises have living quarters attached and the whole is supplied with energy through one set of meters the charges shall be at commercial rates as set out in Section B of this Schedule; or where separately metered each shall be considered as a separate connection.

(ii) Water Heating—

(a) Where an alternative method of heating is connected to the cylinder and the use of energy for water heating is controlled by means of a time switch, water-heating relay, or by a change-over switch with a permanently wired range or rangette the charge shall be—

    All units  ....... 6d. per 10 units.

(b) If to control this use of energy it is necessary to use a time switch the consumer shall supply an approved time switch.

(iii) Heat Storage Ranges—

All units  ....... 5d. per 10 units.
