148 Council to prepare map of water supply, sewerage and stormwater drainage works
(1) The council—
(a) must, before or within a reasonable time after water supply, sewerage or stormwater drainage works have been constructed, prepare a map of the works and the surrounding land that is liable to be rated or become subject to an annual charge for services in relation to the works, and
(b) must from time to time, as the works are extended, amend the map so that it shows the extended works and the land.
(2) The council must ensure that every such map also shows—
(a) the levels of the works at the road frontages of the land, and
(b) so far as is reasonably practicable, the distances from the works of the nearest boundaries of that land and the location of buildings on that land, and
(c) any information relating to the works that might reasonably be expected to affect construction work that might be carried out on the land.
(3) The owner or occupier of land affected by such a map, or any other person who has the written permission of such an owner, is entitled to inspect the map during the council’s office hours.
