Interference with Overhead Supply or Service Mains

(1) No person shall permit any tree, shrub or other plant growing on property owned or occupied by him, to interfere with any overhead supply or service main.

(2) Where any tree, shrub or other plant growing on any land interferes with any overhead supply or service main or in the opinion of the Engineer is likely to cause such interference, the Engineer may either cut down or trim such tree, shrub or other plant or he may serve a notice on the owner or occupier of such land calling upon him to cut down or trim such tree, shrub or other plant within the time specified in any such notice. Upon failure to comply with such notice, the Engineer may himself take steps to remove the cause of the interference and recover any costs incurred from the person upon whom the notice was served or from the owner or occupier of such land.
