Western Australian Consolidated Acts The water board may
cause a meter to be attached to any pipe on any land supplied with water under
this Act.
When a meter is so
attached, the owner or occupier shall not receive a supply of water except by
means of the meter, unless the water board consents to its removal, or to a
supply of water to a part of the land otherwise than by means of the meter.
The water board may
charge the prescribed rent for the use of the meter, and the cost of fixing,
removing, or replacing it and its fittings whenever in the opinion of the
water board necessary.
