Water Act 2000

If a measurement contractor, in the exercise or purported exercise of a power under this Act, damages anything, the measurement contractor must immediately give notice of the particulars of the damage.

The notice must be given to the person who appears to the measurement contractor to be the owner of, or in control of, the thing damaged.

If, for any reason, it is not practicable to comply with subsection (2), the measurement contractor must—

leave the notice at the place where the damage happened; and

ensure the notice is left in a reasonably secure way and in a conspicuous position.

This section does not apply to damage the measurement contractor believes, on reasonable grounds, is trivial.
