Section 20: Charges for moving pipes
132.This section amends section 185 of the WIA which imposes a duty on a relevant undertaker to move pipes etc in certain cases. Subsection (5) currently enables the undertaker to recover expenses reasonably incurred in carrying out the works from the person who required the work to be done. The section amends subsection (5) so that instead the person who required the work to be done must pay the undertaker any charges the undertaker imposes in accordance with charging rules under section 144ZA.
