Abstract

By-laws to make provision for the free allowance of water. Any person desirous of obtaining a free allowance under these By-laws shall make an application to the Commissioner of Water Supply giving full details on the type of premises, the purpose for which the premises are used and other particulars (by-law 3). The free allowance shall be decided by the Commissioner but shall not exceed 900 cubic metres per annum. A free allowance may be reduced or discontinued if the Commissioner is satisfied that false information was given to him by the owner of the premises. A consumer to whom a free allowance has been granted and who fails to notify the Commissioner on changes regarding the premises, shall be guilty of an offence. (6 by-laws)
