Recommendation 9
9
Reinstatement defect inspection process ineffective due to weak incentives for utility companies.
Conclusion
The process whereby authorities inspect reinstatements for defects after works are complete is not working as well as it should be, with weak incentives for utility companies to fix the defects promptly, or at all, once they have been found during an inspection. (Conclusion, Paragraph 44)
