Removal or Relocation of Meters and Service Mains

(a) to remove the service main and meter, such removal shall be effected by the Engineer free of charge. Upon re-connection of the premises, the consumer shall be required to pay the fees and charges referred to in paragraph (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 3 hereof;

(b) to re-locate, adjust or alter the service main or supply main, the full cost of such re-location, adjustment or alteration shall be borne by the consumer.

(2) Where the position of the meter is changed by the Engineer at the request of a consumer, the full cost of the work involved shall be borne by the consumer; provided that where the meter to an underground supply is to be relocated to a point on the boundary where the cable enters the premises, the charge shall be the fee prescribed in Item 17(b) of the First Schedule.

Where the meter to an underground supply is relocated, the service cable between the new and old meter positions shall be abandoned and the ownership thereof shall be transferred to the consumer.

(3) Where, due to reconstruction of supply mains or for the correction of any unsafe or unsatisfactory condition for which the consumer is not, in the opinion of the Engineer, responsible it becomes necessary to alter an existing service main or meter position, such alteration and any consequent alteration to the consumer's electrical installation shall be carried out at the expense of the Council.
