8.4. Subject to clause 8.6, the amount of water supplied by AWS to XXXXX shall be taken to be that shown by the readings taken from the Meters at the Supply Point and, in respect of the accuracy, testing, method of proof and

effect of such Meter readings the provisions of the Measuring Equipment (Cold Water Meters) Regulations 2006 and the Water (Meters) Regulations

1988 shall apply provided that if, at any time, the Meter is not in use or is not operational for any reason AWS may estimate the consumption for the

relevant period and issue a bill to XXXXX based on that estimated consumption.

8.5. If for any reason AWS is unable to obtain a Meter reading for any period

AWS may, acting reasonably and in good faith, estimate the volume supplied to XXXXX for that period and XXXXX shall pay in accordance with that

estimate until a Meter reading becomes available after which AWS shall rely upon the actual Meter reading or representative sample and bill XXXXX accordingly.

8.6. If water is taken by XXXXX in excess of the Maximum Demand or Maximum Rate of Flow, XXXXX shall pay for such excess at the volumetric rate set out

in its Charges Scheme (Retail) under the Anglian Area Household Standard Measured Tariff.

8.7. In the event of a Material Change, either party may propose an alternative

price which reflects the Material Change. If not agreed, within 6 months of such proposal, either or both parties may refer the matter to the Authority

for determination. Until agreed or determined, XXXXX shall continue to pay the Charges as if there had been no Material Change. Any alternative price shall take effect from the date agreed or determined, as the case may be.

whole or in part to the provision of the Supply except to the extent that such act or omission is unlawful or negligent or is in breach of an express provision of this Agreement.

9.2. Without prejudice to the generality of clause 9.1, AWS shall not be liable for any interruption, suspension or reduction of the Supply or because of any

variation in the quantity, quality, flow or pressure of the Supply except to the extent that such event is occasioned by the unlawful or negligent act or omission of AWS or is a breach of an express provision of this Agreement.

9.3. Without prejudice to clause 9.1, neither party shall be liable to the other either under this Agreement or generally under the law of negligence for loss

connection with the provision of or the failure to provide the Supply.

9.4. Any liability under this Agreement or otherwise on the part of either AWS or

XXXXX shall be reduced to the extent that the other party has itself caused or contributed to the breach or the loss or damage occasioned thereby and, in the event of liability to any third party by a party arising from that party's

breach of this Agreement, the party who has caused or contributed to the breach or the loss or damage occasioned thereby shall indemnify the other to

the same extent.

9.5. Either party shall notify the other as soon as reasonably practicable following any matter coming to the attention of the other party which may constitute

or give rise to a breach by that party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. In such event, the other party shall use all reasonable

endeavours to mitigate any loss, damage or injury in any way resulting therefrom.

9.6. This clause shall be in substitution for and to the exclusion of all other claims

or remedies for damages or other relief under this Agreement but shall not exclude any compensation which may be payable under and in accordance

with the Act, or any other Act of Parliament or either party’s Instrument of Appointment as a water undertaker and in respect of which the amount of

compensation is fixed by the Act, regulations or the Instrument of Appointment, as the case may be.

10. Force Majeure

10.1. If either party shall be unable to carry out any of its obligations under the Agreement because of Force Majeure, the Agreement shall continue to have full effect but both parties’ obligations (other than their payment obligations)

shall be suspended without liability for a period equal to the period during which the Force Majeure operates provided that that suspension is of no

greater scope and of no longer duration than that which is required by the Force Majeure.

In accordance with clause 8.1 of the Bulk Supply Agreement, Anglian Water requires XXXXX to provide (within 10 days of the first day of each month) details of the number and type of properties newly connected to the Water and/or

Sewerage system(s). This is to allow Anglian Water to bill XXXXX for Zonal Charges to cover the cost of additional demand on the Anglian Water network.

The charges are applied at a standard rate to domestic properties with dedicated

facilities and non domestic properties with a water supply less than 20mm. They are calculated based upon the number of water fittings in the case of domestic properties with shared facilities and non domestic properties with a water supply

great than 20mm.

Anglian Water requires these figures in different formats (detailed below) depending on the type of property connected and will send XXXXX’s nominated contact one combined invoice with all the Zonal Charges for that period once

they have been calculated. Please note that Anglian Water’s Zonal Charges for developers are set at a standard rate which is reviewed on the 1st of April each

year. The parties recognise that there is available an element of “off-set” payment to

persons requisitioning water mains under section 41 of the Act or reaching agreement to lay water mains under section 51A of the Act. In order to replicate

an element of “off-set” in respect of this bulk supply agreement, in respect of any premises connected between the date of this agreement and 31 March 2020, Anglian Water will calculate the Zonal Charge payable by XXXXX by taking

the Zonal Charges set in its Charges Scheme and deducting the sum of £409.29 per property.

In respect of connections made from 1 April 2020 to the end of the term of this agreement, Anglian Water and XXXXX will negotiate in good faith to agree a

method of charging that: complies with any decisions, guidance or rules made by Ofwat or if none

strictly apply, (because – by way of example but not by way of limitation –such rules only apply prospectively) replicates the same;

continues to replicate the “off-set”;

recognises the deduction set out above. Any such agreement is to be recorded in writing as an addendum to this

agreement. VAT- Zonal Charges on new properties for residential purposes are zero-rated

i.e. VAT is not payable. Charges for other premises will be standard rated with the exemption of certain approved alterations to listed buildings and certain

premises used for charitable purposes.

Zonal Charges are a form of infrastructure charge permitted by Section 146 of the Water Industry Act, 1991.
