(3)If, in calculating a combined charge in respect of land, the Water Corporation is required to take into account a discharge volume for a discharge year for the land, other than the current discharge year, but no such volume can be determined because water was not supplied by the Water Corporation to the land for the whole of the year, the Water Corporation must estimate a notional discharge volume for the year for the land, that is, the volume that would most likely have been discharged for the year if the circumstances currently prevailing had applied to the land for the whole of the year.

(3)If the land has the benefit of one or more major fixtures that are shared with other land, the number of major fixtures for the land is —

(a)the number of major fixtures on the land that are not shared with other land (if any); plus

(b)the number of major fixtures shared with other land divided by the number of properties sharing those fixtures, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(4)The minimum number of major fixtures for the land is, or is to be taken to be, one, whether or not there are any major fixtures on the land or the land has the benefit of any major fixtures shared with other land.
