For the purpose of initiating or maintaining a water supply to the public the concessionaire may, on giving to occupiers seven days' notice in that behalf, or without such notice in any case of emergency, enter upon any enclosed or other premises other than buildings for the purpose of installing, improving or maintaining any works but —
a concessionaire shall not thereby acquire any right over any land other than for the purpose of supply in accordance with its concession and in terms of compensation with respect to any consequential nuisance or damage;
in case of serious risk of flooding or for the provision of a water supply for the purpose of fire fighting, a concessionaire may enter without notice upon any building accompanied, if practicable, by a constable; and
where a nuisance or damage is caused to any person by reason of any action of a concessionaire (including any of his servants) taken under this section and compensation cannot be agreed, the question of the quantum of compensation shall be referred to the Compensation Assessment Tribunal referred to in section 12.
