WATER REGULATION 2016 - REG 156

156 Starting validation inspection on approved meter in particular circumstances

(1) This section applies in relation to a relevant authorisation if, immediately before the commencement—

(a) a validation inspection was required to be carried out on a meter attached to works through which water is taken under the authorisation because—

(i) the revalidation period for the authorisation under former section 111 had started in relation to the meter; or

(ii) the chief executive had given the holder of the authorisation a notice under former section 112A requiring the holder to arrange another validation inspection on the meter; and

(b) the validation inspection had not been started on the meter; and

(c) the validation date for the validation inspection had not passed.

(2) The holder of the relevant authorisation may arrange for a validation inspection to be carried out on the meter before the validation date.

(3) If the holder of the relevant authorisation arranges a validation inspection under subsection (2), former section 112 continues to apply in relation to the validation inspection as if the amendment regulation had not been made.

Note—

See subdivision 5 in relation to validation inspections finalised after the commencement.

(4) If the holder of the relevant authorisation does not arrange a validation inspection under subsection (2), section 151(2) stops applying to the meter on the validation date.

(5) In this section—

"validation date" , for a validation inspection mentioned in subsection (1)(a), means—

(a) if subsection (1)(a)(i) applies—the revalidation date for the relevant authorisation applying under former section 111; or

(b) if subsection (1)(a)(ii) applies—the expiry date applying under former section 112A.
