Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the regulations but is intended to
indicate their general purport).
In cases where the actual occupier pays to someone else (e.p. a land- lord) a payment which includes water charges, that other person was by Emergency Regulations G.N. $22 of 1938 made the consumer and liable as such,
By regulation 138 of the Emergency (Principal) Regulations, 1948, G.N. 922 of 1938 was repealed. It is considered desirable that this rogulation should continue in force, but as it has not in any manner a temporary or emergency character, it is proper that it should be re-enacted as an ordinary regulation.
