Section 34

The Board may, before executing the necessary work for connecting up the premises of the owner or occupier to the distributing mains, by notice in writing, require the owner or occupier of those premises, within seven days after the date of the service of the notice, to give to him security for the payment of all moneys which may become due to him in respect of the supply, in case the owner or occupier has not already given that security, or in case any security given has become invalid or is insufficient, and in case any such owner or occupier fail to comply with the terms of the notice, the Board may, if he thinks fit, refuse to supply energy for the premises so long as the failure continues.
