1003 Amending a private water supply agreement
(1) A private water supply agreement (the
"original agreement" ) may be amended only once and only if the works to which
the original agreement applies are capped and piped or are to be capped and
piped.
(2) If additional land is required because of the capping and piping,
the amending agreement may include—
(b) if the registered owner of the land is not
already a party to the original agreement—the addition of the registered
owner as a party.
(3) As soon as practicable after making the amending
agreement, the parties must give the chief executive a copy of the amending
agreement.
(4) If the amending agreement varies the land to which the
original agreement applies, the chief executive must give the registrar of
titles notice of the amending agreement.
(5) The registrar must record the
notice in a way that a search of the register kept by the registrar under any
Act relating to the land the subject of the original agreement, as amended,
will show the existence of the original agreement and the amending agreement.
(6) In this section—
"cap and pipe" , in relation to works, means—
(a) repairing or replacing a
bore forming the whole or part of the works so that the flow of water can be
controlled by a valve on the headworks of the bore; and
(b) replacing a bore
drain distribution system with a pipeline distribution system.
