Drainage Maintenance Act, 1924

Commissioners may repair drainage works.

2.—(1) The Commissioners may from time to time as and when they think fit, appoint an engineer or other competent person to inspect and report upon the state of the drainage works in any drainage district.

(2) If it shall appear to the Commissioners, from the report of any such engineer or other person, that the drainage works in any drainage district are not in such good order, repair, and condition as to be fit and proper in the opinion of the Commissioners for their intended purpose, the Commissioners may execute such works as they shall consider necessary for the proper and effective repair of the drainage works in that drainage district, and such works may include any improvements to such drainage works which in the opinion of the Commissioners are necessary or proper and will not injuriously affect any person.

(3) The Commissioners shall have and may exercise in relation to any works executed by them under this Act, all or any, such powers as are conferred on them by the Drainage Maintenance Act, 1866, as adapted or modified by any later enactment in relation to works executed by them under that Act.
