Common use of Unplanned Interruptions to Water Supply Clause in Contracts

Unplanned Interruptions to Water Supply. If the water supply to Supply Points is disrupted because of a fault or breakdown in plant, equipment, apparatus or pipes forming part of the "Public Water Supply System", SW will restore the supply within 12 hours from the time SW finds out about the interruption, unless the burst affects a strategic main (that is to say, a main with a diameter equal to or greater than 300mm), in which case the supply will be restored within 48 hours from the time SW finds out. If SW fails to do this, it will pay the Licensee £50 per affected Supply Point. If the supply remains interrupted beyond the applicable 12-hour or 48-hour time period, SW will pay £25 per affected Supply Point for each additional 12-hour period without water.
