Restriction on construction of waterworks by sanitary authority.
|
62. Before commencing to construct waterworks within the limits of supply of any water company empowered by Act of Parliament or any order confirmed by Parliament to supply water, the sanitary authority shall give written notice to every water company within whose limits of supply the sanitary authority are desirous of supplying water, stating the purposes for which and (as far as may be practicable) the extent to which water is required by the sanitary authority.
|
|
| |
It shall not be lawful for the sanitary authority to construct any waterworks within such limits if and so long as any such company are able and willing to supply water proper and sufficient for all reasonable purposes for which it is required by the sanitary authority; and any difference as to whether the water which any such company are able and willing to lay on is proper and sufficient for the purposes for which it is required, or whether the purposes for which it is required are reasonable, or (if and so far as the charges of the company are not regulated by Parliament) as to the terms of supply, shall be settled by arbitration in manner provided by this Act.
