South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts86—Right to Corporation to treat separate holdings as a single parcel of
ratable land and vice versa
(1) The Corporation
may, in the Corporation's discretion, levy water rates upon any two or more
parcels of land that are subject to the same ownership or occupation as if
they constituted a single parcel of ratable land.
(2) The Corporation
may, in the Corporation's discretion, levy water rates separately in respect
of any parcel of land, or part thereof, notwithstanding that it is held
conjointly with other land under the same ownership or occupation.
(3) Where the
aggregate volume of water supplied to or in relation to two or more parcels of
land is measured or assessed, but there are no separate measurements or
assessments in relation to the individual parcels, the Corporation may, for
the purpose of determining water rates, or charges due under an agreement, in
respect of the separate parcels of land, apportion the aggregate volume
amongst the separate parcels in such manner as the Corporation considers just,
and where such an apportionment has been made it shall be presumed that water
has been supplied to or in relation to the separate parcels of land in
accordance with that apportionment.
