Where this regulation applies and a visit is not made on the appointed day, the undertaker shall, except in the circumstances described in paragraph (3), pay to the customer (or credit to his account) the sum of £5.
3
The circumstances described in this paragraph are–
a
that the customer has cancelled the appointment; or
b
that the undertaker has cancelled the appointment by giving the customer not less than 24 hours' notice of cancellation; or
c
that it was impractical to make the visit on the appointed day because of severe weather conditions or industrial action by the undertaker’s employees or the act or default of a person other than an officer, employee or agent of the undertaker or a person acting on behalf of its agent and those conditions or that action, act or default could not reasonably have been foreseen by the undertaker sufficiently early to enable it to cancel the appointment in accordance with subparagraph (b) or to make suitable alternative arrangements to fulfil it; or
d
that the customer has not made a written claim for a payment under this regulation within 3 months of the appointed day.
4
For the purposes of this regulation, where an undertaker holds a record signed by a representative who was instructed to make the visit that the visit was made on the appointed day that visit shall be regarded as having been made unless the customer establishes that the record is incorrect.
Account queries and requests about payment arrangements
4
1
This regulation applies where a customer queries in writing the correctness of an account presented to him by a water or sewerage undertaker for the supply of water or sewerage services to domestic premises (“a query”) or where a customer asks in writing to change the arrangements by which he makes payments to the undertaker.
2
Where this regulation applies the undertaker shall, except in the circumstances described in paragraph (3), pay to the customer (or credit to his account) the sum of £5 if the undertaker fails–
a
in the case of a query, to despatch a substantive reply to the customer within 20 working days from the date of receipt of the query; or
b
where the customer asks to change the arrangements by which he makes payments and that request cannot be met, to despatch a substantive reply to the customer within 10 working days from the date of the receipt of the request.
3
The circumstances described in this paragraph are–
a
that the customer has informed the undertaker that he does not wish to pursue his query or request; or
b
in the case of a query, that severe weather conditions made it impracticable to make any necessary visit to the customer’s premises in sufficient time to enable the undertaker to comply with paragraph (2)(a); or
c
that industrial action by the undertaker’s employees or the act or default of a person other than an officer, employee or agent of the undertaker or a person acting on behalf of its agent made it impracticable to dispatch such a reply within the relevant period; or
d
that the query or request was not sent to an address notified in writing by the undertaker to its customers as the appropriate address for queries or requests of that nature; or
e
in the case of a query, that the query is frivolous or vexatious; or
f
that the customer has not made a written claim for a payment under this regulation within 3 months of the date of the receipt of the query or request by the undertaker.
Complaints about water or sewerage services
5
1
This regulation applies where a customer complains in writing–
a
to a water undertaker about the quality of water supplied by the undertaker to domestic premises, the pressure at which it is supplied or the adequacy of the supply;
b
to a sewerage undertaker about the services supplied by or on behalf of the undertaker to such premises.
2
Where this regulation applies the undertaker shall, except in the circumstances described in paragraph (3), pay to the customer (or credit to his account) the sum of £5 if the undertaker fails–
a
in the case of a complaint which, in the undertaker’s opinion necessitates a visit to the premises or the making of inquiries of persons who are not officers or employees of the undertaker, to despatch to the customer within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the complaint an initial reply–
i
explaining why a substantive reply cannot be despatched immediately;
ii
giving the name and telephone number and address of a responsible employee whom the customer can contact about the complaint; and
iii
stating that a substantive reply will be despatched within 20 working days from the date of receipt of the complaint;
b
in the case of a complaint in relation to which sub-paragraph (a) does not apply, to despatch a substantive reply to the customer within 10 working days from the date of the receipt of the complaint.
3
The circumstances described in this paragraph are–
a
that the customer has informed the undertaker that he does not wish to pursue his complaint; or
b
that industrial action by the undertaker’s employees or the act or default of a person other than an officer, employee or agent of the undertaker or a person acting on behalf of its agent made it impracticable to despatch a reply within the relevant period mentioned in paragraph (2); or
c
that the complaint was not sent to an address notified in writing by the undertaker to its customers as the appropriate address for complaints of that nature; or
d
that the complaint is frivolous or vexatious; or
e
that the customer has not made a written claim for a payment under this regulation within 3 months of the date of the receipt of the complaint.
4
In paragraph (1)(b) “sewerage undertaker” includes an authority which is carrying out sewerage functions on behalf of the undertaker under arrangements entered into (or to be treated as entered into) for the purposes of section 73 of the 1989 Act; but where a customer complains to such an authority the complaint shall be deemed for the purposes of paragraph (2) of this regulation to have been received by the sewerage undertaker on the date on which the undertaker received it from the authority.
Notice of interruption of supply
6
1
Where the supply of water to domestic premises is to be cut off to carry out necessary works in circumstances in which the undertaker is required by section 49(2) of the 1989 Act to give the consumer notice of the proposal for carrying out the works, the undertaker shall, before the supply is cut off, notify the affected consumer in writing of the time by which the supply will be restored.
2
Where the supply of water to domestic premises has been interrupted or has been cut off to carry out necessary works in an emergency (and notice is not given in accordance with section 49(2) of the 1989 Act), a water undertaker shall take all reasonable steps to notify affected customers–
a
of the fact that the supply has been interrupted or cut off; and
b
where any alternative supply may be obtained; and
c
of the time by which it is proposed the supply should be restored; and

2
Where this regulation applies the undertaker shall, except in the circumstances described in paragraph (4), pay to the customer (or credit to his account) the sum of £5–

if the supply of water to the premises is not restored by the time specified for the restoration of that supply in a notice given in accordance with regulation 6(1);
b

c
where the supply is interrupted or cut off as mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) and there is no such leak or burst as is so mentioned, if the supply is not restored within 24 hours from the time when the undertaker first became aware of the interruption or the supply was cut off.
3
When a sum of £5 falls to be paid or credited to a customer by virtue of paragraph (2), the undertaker shall, except in the circumstances described in paragraph (4), pay to that customer a further sum of £5 in respect of each further complete period of 24 hours during which the supply remains unrestored.
4
The circumstances described in this paragraph are–
i
that severe weather conditions or industrial action by the employees of the undertaker or the act or default of a person other than an officer, employee or agent of the undertaker or a person acting on behalf of its agent precluded the restoration of the supply within the relevant period; or
ii
in a case described in paragraph (2)(b) or (c), circumstances which were so exceptional that it would be unreasonable to have expected the supply to be restored within the relevant period; or
iii
that the customer has not made a written claim for a payment under this regulation within 3 months following the date on which the supply was cut off.
5
This regulation does not apply where a supply is interrupted or cut off because of drought.
Notice of rights to be given to customers
8
1
Every water or sewerage undertaker shall at least once in every financial year provide every customer to whom it presents an account in that year with a detailed statement of the rights provided by these Regulations.
2
Where an undertaker is aware that accounts presented to a customer cover the supply of water or sewerage services to other customers, it shall supply the customer with sufficient further copies of the statement referred to in paragraph (1) to enable him to give a copy to each of those other customers or send a copy of the statement to those other customers directly.
General exclusion where customer in arrears
9
1
Subject to paragraph (2), a customer is not entitled to any payment or credit under these Regulations if at the time he submits a claim he owes money to the undertaker and the debt has been outstanding for more than 6 weeks.
2
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a customer shall be entitled to a credit under these Regulations if–
a
an agreement or arrangement exists between the customer and the undertaker regarding the payment of the money owed; or
b
a court order is in force relating to the money owed and providing for payment by a specified date or by instalments; and
the customer is not in breach of that agreement or arrangement or that order, as the case may be.
Payments not to affect other legal liabilities
10
The making of a payment by an undertaker to a customer in consequence of a claim or potential claim for a payment under these Regulations shall not constitute an admission by the undertaker of any liability other than an obligation to comply with these Regulations; and the acceptance by a customer of a payment or credit made in consequence of these Regulations shall not affect any liability of the undertaker to the customer other than its liability under these Regulations.
Reference of disputes to the Director General of Water Services
11
1
Where a dispute arises between an undertaker and a customer as to the right of the customer to a payment or credit under these Regulations, the matter may be referred to the Director by either party for determination.
2
The parties to a dispute which is referred to the Director shall furnish him with such evidence or information as he may reasonably require to enable him to determine the dispute.
3
Where following a determination by the Director under this regulation, the undertaker fails to give effect to the determination, the customer may set-off the amount in question against any liability which he has to the undertaker.

2
Where references are made in these Regulations to the day on which a notice is issued, they shall be taken to be references —
a
if the notice is served in the manner described in regulation 3 by being leftat, or sent by post to, a person’s last known place of abode or a body’s registered or principal office (as the case may be), to the day on which it is so left or posted, or
b
in any other case, to the day on which it is served.
Service of notices
3
1
Any notice required or authorised by these Regulations to be given to or served on a person by the Secretary of State may be given or served —
a
in the case of an individual, by delivering it to him, or by leaving it at or by sending it by post to him at his last known place of abode,
b
in the case of a body corporate, by addressing it to the secretary of the body and by delivering it to him, or by leaving it at or by sending it by post to him at the registered or principal office of the body, or

The requirement for demand notices
4
1
For each chargeable financial year the Secretary of State shall, in accordance with regulations 5 to 7, serve a notice in writing on every person who is a ratepayer in relation to the year.
2
Different demand notices shall be served for different chargeable financial years.
Time of service of demand notices
5
1
Subject to paragraph (2), a demand notice shall be served on or as soon as practicable after —
a
except in a case falling within sub-paragraph (b), 1st April in the relevant year, or
b
if the ratepayer’s name is not shown in a central list for that day, the first day after that day for which it is so shown.
2
A demand notice may, if the non-domestic multiplier for the relevant year has been determined under Schedule 7 to the Act, be served before the beginning of the relevant year on a person whose name, for the day on which it is issued, is shown in a central list (or would be so shown if a list sent under section 52(5) of the Act were in force); and if it is so served, references in this Part to a ratepayer shall, in relation to that notice and so far as the context permits, be construed as references to that person.
Payments under demand notices
6
1
If a demand notice is issued before or during the relevant year and the ratepayer’s name is shown in a central list for the day on which it is issued (or would be so shown if a list sent under section 52(5) of the Act were in force), the notice shall require payment of an amount equal to the Secretary of State’s estimate of the amount payable for the year, made as respects periods after the issue of the notice on the assumption that the ratepayer’s name will be shown in a central list for every day in the relevant year after that day.
2
If a demand notice is issued during the relevant year but paragraph (1) does not apply, the notice shall require payment of an amount equal to the amount payable by the ratepayer for the period in the year up to the day for which his name is last shown in a central list.
3
If, after a notice is served to which paragraph (2) applies, the ratepayer’s name is shown again in a central list for a day in the relevant year, a further notice shall be served on him requiring payments with respect to the amount payable for the period in the relevant year beginning with the day for which his name is so shown again in the list; and regulations 5 to 8 (and, so far as applicable, the Schedule) shall apply to the further notice with respect to that period as if it were a demand notice and his name had not been shown in a central list for a day before that period begins.
4
If a demand notice is issued after the end of the relevant year, it shall require payment of the amount payable for the year.
Payments under demand notices: further provision
7
1
Unless an agreement under paragraph (3) in relation to the relevant year has been reached between the ratepayer and the Secretary of State before the demand notice is issued, a notice to which regulation 6(1) applies shall require the estimate of the amount payable to be paid by instalments in accordance with Part I of the Schedule; and where such instalments are required Part II of the Schedule applies for their cessation or adjustment in the circumstances described in that Part.
2
If an agreement under paragraph (3) in relation to the relevant year has been reached between the Secretary of State and the ratepayer before the demand notice is issued, a notice to which regulation 6(1) applies shall require the estimate of the amount payable to be paid in accordance with that agreement.
3
The Secretary of State and a ratepayer may agree that the estimate of the amount payable which is required to be paid under a notice to which regulation 6(1) applies should be paid in such manner as is provided by the agreement, rather than in accordance with the Schedule.
4
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this regulation, such an agreement may be entered into either before or after the demand notice concerned is issued, and may make provision for the cessation or adjustment of payments, and for the making of fresh estimates, in the event of the estimate mentioned in regulation 6(1) turning out to be wrong; and if it is entered into after the demand notice has been issued, it may make provision dealing with the treatment for the purposes of the agreement of any sums paid in accordance with the Schedule before it was entered into.
5
A notice to which regulation 6(2) or (4) applies shall require payment of the amount payable on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
6
No payment in respect of the amount payable by a ratepayer for any chargeable financial year (whether interim, final or sole) need be made unless a notice served under these Regulations requires it.
Failure to pay instalments
8
1
Where —
a
a demand notice has been served by the Secretary of State on a ratepayer,
b
instalments are payable under the notice in accordance with the Schedule, and
c
any such instalment is not paid in accordance with the Schedule,the Secretary of State shall (unless all the instalments have fallen due) serve a further notice on the ratepayer stating the instalments required to be paid.
2
If, after the service of a further notice under paragraph (1), the ratepayer —
a
fails to pay, before the expiry of the period of 7 days beginning with the day of service of the further notice, any instalments which fall due before the expiry of that period under the demand notice concerned, or
b
fails to pay any instalment which falls due after the expiry of that period under the demand notice concerned on or before the day on which it falls due,the unpaid balance of the estimated amount shall become payable by him at the expiry of a further period of 7 days beginning with the day of the failure.
3
If the amount payable for the relevant year proves to be greater than the estimated amount, an additional sum equal to the difference between the two shall, on the service by the Secretary of State on the ratepayer of a notice stating the amount payable, be due from the person to the Secretary of State on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
4
If the amount payable for the relevant year proves to be less than the estimated amount the Secretary of State shall notify the ratepayer in writing of the amount payable; and any overpayment in respect of any liability of the ratepayer under these Regulations —
a
shall be repaid if the ratepayer so requires, or
b
in any other case shall (as the Secretary of State determines) either be repaid or be credited against any subsequent liability of the ratepayer to pay anything to the Secretary of State by way of non-domestic rate.
5
If any factor or assumption by reference to which the estimated amount was calculated is shown to be false before the amount payable is capable of final determination for the purposes of paragraphs (3) and (4), the Secretary of State may, and if so required by the ratepayer shall, make a calculation of the appropriate amount with a view to adjusting the ratepayer’s liability in respect of the estimated amount and (as appropriate) to —
a
requiring an interim payment from the ratepayer if the appropriate amount is greater than the estimated amount, or
b
making an interim repayment to the ratepayer if the appropriate amount is less than the amount of the estimated amount paid.
6
The appropriate amount for the purposes of paragraph (5) is the amount which would be required to be paid under a demand notice if such a notice were issued with respect to the relevant year and the ratepayer on the day that the notice under paragraph (7) is issued; and more than one calculation of the appropriate amount and interim adjustment may be made under paragraph (5) according to the circumstances.
7
On calculating the appropriate amount the Secretary of State shall notify the ratepayer in writing of it; and a payment required under paragraph (5)(a) shall be due from the ratepayer to the Secretary of State on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
8
In this regulation — “the appropriate amount” has the meaning given in paragraph (6); and “the estimated amount” means the amount last estimated under regulation 6(1) for the purposes of the demand notice mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) or any subsequent notice given under paragraph 7(2) of the Schedule prior to the failure mentioned in paragraph (2) above, save that if in any case an interim adjustment has been required or made under paragraph (5), it means in relation to the next payment, repayment or interim adjustment in that case under this regulation (if any), the appropriate amount by reference to which the previous interim adjustment was so made.
Demand notices: final adjustment

a
a notice has been issued by the Secretary of State under these Regulations requiring a payment or payments to be made by a ratepayer in respect of the amount payable for a chargeable financial year or part of a chargeable financial year,
b
the payment or payments required to be paid are found to be in excess of or less than the amount payable for the year or the part, and
c
provision for adjusting the amounts required under the notice and (as appropriate) for the making of additional payments or the repaying or crediting of any amount overpaid is not made by any other provision of these Regulations, of the Act or of any agreement entered into under regulation 7(3).
2
The Secretary of State shall as soon as practicable after the expiry of the year or the part of a year serve a further notice on the ratepayer stating the amount payable for the year or part and adjusting (by reference to that amount) the amounts required to be paid under the notice referred to in paragraph (1)(a).
3
If the amount stated in the further notice is greater than the amount required to be paid under the notice referred to in paragraph (1)(a), the amount of the difference for which such other provision as is mentioned in paragraph (1)(c) is not made shall be due from the ratepayer to the Secretary of State on the expiry of such period (being not less than 14 days) after the day of issue of the notice as is specified in it.
4
If there has been an overpayment in respect of any liability of the ratepayer under these Regulations, the amount overpaid for which such other provision as is mentioned in paragraph (1)(c) is not made —
a
shall be repaid if the ratepayer so requires, or
b
in any other case shall (as the Secretary of State determines) either be repaid or be credited against any subsequent liability of the ratepayer to pay anything to the Secretary of State by way of non-domestic rate.
Recovery in court of competent jurisdiction
10
1
Any sum which has become payable under these Regulations (whether to the Secretary of State or by way of repayment), and which has not been paid, shall be recoverable in a court of competent jurisdiction.
2
Any matter which could be the subject of an appeal under regulations under section 55 of the Act may not be raised in proceedings under paragraph (1).
3
The contents of a central list or an extract from such a list may be proved in proceedings under paragraph (1) by production of a copy of the list or relevant part of the list purporting to be certified by or on behalf of the Secretary of State to be a true copy.
Outstanding liabilities on death
11
Regulation 24 of the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Local Lists) Regulations 1989 shall have effect as if —
b
references to relevant costs included references to costs in respect of which an order of a court has been made in proceedings under regulation 10(1) of these Regulations; and
c
in a case where proceedings to enforce a liability under regulation 24 of those Regulations relate to an amount calculated by reference to section 54 of the Act, for regulation 24(7) of those Regulations there were substituted —
7
Regulation 10(2) and (3) of the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Central Lists) Regulations 1989 applies to enforce a liability arising under this regulation as it applies to proceedings under regulation 10(1) of those Regulations.
