(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1) a water main or other pipe is suitable, in relation to a factory or place of business, if—
(a)it is situated in a road which is in or near to that factory or place of business; and
(b)it is of sufficient dimensions to carry a hydrant and is not a trunk main.
(3) Paragraph (6) of Article 96 shall not apply in relation to expenses incurred in compliance, in relation to a specially requested fire-hydrant, with the obligations under paragraphs (3) and (4) of that Article.
(4) Any expenses incurred by a water undertaker—
(a)in complying with its obligations under paragraph (1); or
(b)in complying, in relation to a specially requested fire-hydrant, with its obligations under Article 96(3) or (4),
shall be borne by the owner or occupier of the factory or place of business in question, according to whether the person who made the original request for the hydrant did so in his capacity as owner or occupier.
(5) Where a specially requested fire-hydrant is removed (other than at the request of the owner or occupier of the factory or place of business in question) by a water undertaker in the course of carrying out works in relation to any of its water mains or other pipes, the cost of replacing the fire-hydrant shall be borne by the undertaker.
(6) Paragraphs (7) to (10) of Article 96 shall apply in relation to the obligations of a water undertaker under this Article as they apply to the obligations of a water undertaker under that Article.
