32. If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the company in refusing to give, or in discontinuing or in not recommencing the supply of energy to his pre- mises, the wires and fittings of that consumer shall, on his application and on payment of a fee of ten dollars, be tested for the existence of leakage by the Director of Public Works.
