Clause 19

If any person entitled to a supply of water, gas or electricity under any such agreement as is mentioned in section 16 of this Ordinance, makes default in payment of any sum payable by him under such agreement, the Board may cut off the supply of water, gas or electricity by severing or disconnecting any pipe, line or other work through which water, gas or electricity is supplied and may, until any sum payable under the said agreement together with the expenses incurred by the Board in so cutting off are fully paid, discontinue the supply of water, gas or electricity to such person.

If at any time after the supply of water, gas or electricity to any premises has been cut off by the Board, it is found that any such supply has been renewed without the authority of the Board and that water, gas or electricity is being used by any person or persons on such premises, the occupier of such premises shall be deemed, until the contrary is proved, to have authorised such user, and shall be guilty of an offence under this Ordinance and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty dollars for each day the water, gas or electricity has been so used.

Any employee of the Board duly appointed for that purpose may at all reasonable times enter any premises to which water, gas or electricity is or has been supplied by the Board in order to examine and if necessary repair, renew or replace the pipes, lines, meters, accumulators, fittings, works or apparatus for the supply of water, gas and electricity belonging to or which are supplied from mains or cables belonging to the Board and for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity of water, gas or electricity consumed or supplied or, when the Board is authorised to cut off the supply of water, gas or electricity from any premises, for the purpose of removing any pipes, electric lines, accumulators, fittings, works or apparatus belonging to the Board and repairing any damage caused by such entry, inspection or removal.
