sec.156 Starting validation inspection on approved meter in particular circumstances

This section applies in relation to a relevant authorisation if, immediately before the commencement— a validation inspection was required to be carried out on a meter attached to works through which water is taken under the authorisation because— the revalidation period for the authorisation under former section 111 had started in relation to the meter; or the chief executive had given the holder of the authorisation a notice under former section 112A requiring the holder to arrange another validation inspection on the meter; and the validation inspection had not been started on the meter; and the validation date for the validation inspection had not passed. The holder of the relevant authorisation may arrange for a validation inspection to be carried out on the meter before the validation date. If the holder of the relevant authorisation arranges a validation inspection under subsection (2), former section 112 continues to apply in relation to the validation inspection as if the amendment regulation had not been made. See subdivision 5 in relation to validation inspections finalised after the commencement. If the holder of the relevant authorisation does not arrange a validation inspection under subsection (2), section 151(2) stops applying to the meter on the validation date. In this section— validation date , for a validation inspection mentioned in subsection (1)(a), means— if subsection (1)(a)(i) applies—the revalidation date for the relevant authorisation applying under former section 111; or if subsection (1)(a)(ii) applies—the expiry date applying under former section 112A. s 156 ins 2024 SL No. 121 s 6 (sec.156-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a relevant authorisation if, immediately before the commencement— a validation inspection was required to be carried out on a meter attached to works through which water is taken under the authorisation because— the revalidation period for the authorisation under former section 111 had started in relation to the meter; or the chief executive had given the holder of the authorisation a notice under former section 112A requiring the holder to arrange another validation inspection on the meter; and the validation inspection had not been started on the meter; and the validation date for the validation inspection had not passed.
