if the existing works include a pump—the maximum rate applied for does not exceed—
for a pump of a size mentioned in schedule 8, column 1—the corresponding rate stated in schedule 8, column 2 for the pump size; or
for a pump of another size—the rate decided by the chief executive having regard to the corresponding rates stated for similar pump sizes in schedule 8, column 2.
