Emergency works
9.—(1) The undertaker may carry out emergency works provided that it first notifies DCC of the proposed emergency works.
(2) DCC may at all times carry out emergency works in relation to DCC apparatus within the Order limits in accordance with Part 2 (other rights of entry and related powers) of Schedule 6 to the Water Industry Act 1991.
(3) Emergency works required in order for DCC to fulfil its functions under sub-paragraph (2) take precedence over works to be carried out by the undertaker and, in such circumstances, the undertaker must reschedule its works accordingly.
(4) To avoid doubt, if DCC suffers any loss, cost or damage as a result of emergency action taken by the undertaker without prior notification as provided for in sub-paragraph (1), the indemnity in paragraph 11 applies.
