9—Supply and installation of meters

        (1)         In order to determine the quantity of water taken for the purposes of the Act the Minister may—

            (b)         by written notice, direct a person to supply or install a meter.

        (2)         The Minister may require—

            (a)         an owner of land on which a meter supplied by the Minister is installed; or

            (b)         a person who is the holder of a water management authorisation, or who has the benefit of a water management authorisation, in respect of which any volume of water is to be measured by a meter supplied by the Minister (if not the owner of the relevant land),

to pay any costs involved with the supply, installation or sealing of the meter, which will then become a debt due by the owner of land under paragraph (a) or the person under paragraph (b) (as the case requires) to the Crown.

        (3)         A meter supplied by the Minister remains the property of the Minister unless all relevant costs are paid under subregulation (2) or the Minister transfers property in the meter to another person.
