relating to the several above-mentioned Companies are
almost identical, the scale being as follows:—
Where the annual value of the dwelling-house or other
place does not exceed £200, a rate not exceeding 4 per cent,
per annum; where such annual value exceeds £200, a rate
not exceeding 3 per cent, per annum. An additional charge,
varying from 4s. per annum where the annual value of the
house exceeds £30 but is less than £50, to 12s. where the
annual value of the house exceeds £300, is permitted for
each single water-closet, fixed bath, or high service; for
each additional water-closet, fixed bath, or high service,
half these rates are to be charged. High service is defined
as a delivery of water at an elevation of more than ten
feet above the pavement in front of the dwelling-house or
other place supplied.
The Companies may supply water for other than
domestic purposes, either upon agreed terms or by meter at
a specified rate.
