These Regulations prescribe deposit and reconnection fees and charges for water supplied to consumers and ships berthing in Port Vila and Luganville. If a meter is faulty and does not register any consumption and the Director of Public Works or his representative or agent is satisfied that the consumer is consuming water, the water charges shall be calculated based on the average of the last 3 actual consumptions. If this happens during the first reading then the flat rate of shall be applied. If it happens during the second reading the first quarter figure is used. If it happens during the third reading, then the average of the first and second readings are taken. The Regulations further specify a form of agreement between the consumer and the Department Of Public Works And Water Supply.
