(1) The service main shall be installed by the Engineer after due
compliance by the owner with the provisions of these bylaws and the
code of practice. The position, type and size of the service main shall
be determined by the Engineer, provided that he may, upon application
by the owner, approve an alternative position, type or size of service
main if such alternative is technically acceptable.
(2) Deleted
(3) Deleted
(3A) The Engineer may in his discretion, subject to the acquisition by
the Council of necessary servitudes or wayleaves, convert any service
main or portion thereof to supply main.
(4) Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is necessary in order to
give a supply of electricity to a consumer or consumers to extend the
supply main, such extension shall be paid in accordance with Section
3(1)(c).
(5) Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, the extension of the supply
main involves the adoption of an extraordinary method of construction,
the consumer shall, before such extension is made, pay to the Engineer
in place of the fees prescribed in Item 2 of the First Schedule, the
estimated cost of the extension. Where the actual cost of the extension
is greater or less than the amount paid, the difference shall be paid
by or refunded to the consumer. The proviso to sub-section (4) of this
section shall, mutatis mutandis apply when additional consumers are
connected to any such extension.
(6)(a) For the purpose of supplying electricity to premises only one
service main shall be permitted; provided that the Engineer may at the
request of a consumer authorise the installation of one or more
additional service mains where portions of any premises are separately
let or occupied or where this is, in his opinion, necessary for
technical reasons.
(b) Where the portions of any premises which are separately let or
occupied are supplied with electricity through a single meter, the
owner of such premises may, with the prior consent of the Engineer,
install meters for the purpose of measuring the quantity of current
consumed by each tenant or occupier of the several portions of the
premises and may charge for such current at a rate not exceeding the
prescribed tariff rate. Where meters are installed by the owner, he
shall be responsible for the payment of all electricity supplied to the
tenants or occupiers of the several portions of the premises.
(c) Where, for the convenience and advantage of a group of consumers on
a single site or premises the Engineer agrees to meter each individual
consumer at a point or points remote from the service main connection
point, each consumer's meter shall nevertheless be deemed to be at the
service main connection point for the purpose of definition of
responsibility of maintenance of supply.
(7) The Council shall have the right to connect and maintain at its own
expense, current limiting or peak load control devices to any portion
of a consumer's electrical installation for the purpose of ensuring
that the normal service and supply mains are adequate for the
maintenance of an efficient supply or for controlling current consumed
in relation to peak demands on the Council's electricity supply system,
and the Council shall not be liable for any loss, damage or
inconvenience arising from any restriction in or interruption of the
supply of current resulting from the operation of any such device.
(1) The service main shall be installed by the Engineer after due
compliance by the owner with the provisions of these bylaws and the
code of practice. The position, type and size of the service main shall
