Risk and Liability
NB Power assumes no risk and shall not be liable for any damage to property, furnishings, belongings, or loss of revenue or personal injury resulting from the presence of its equipment on the customer’s premises or from an Act of God or from accidents, negligence or other actions of civic or similar agencies, or any other person(s) beyond the control of NB Power, or from a leaking or ruptured water heater having been installed or maintained in noncompliance with all current codes and standards as described herein.
The customer is responsible to provide a suitable location for the water heater. For the greatest energy efficiency the location should be as close as possible to the point of highest use. To prevent water damage due to water leak from the piping, the temperature and pressure relief valve or from a leaking water heater, the location should be close to a free flowing floor drain or other acceptable means of directing the water to a safe location of disposal.
NB Power shall not be liable for damage in the event an adequate drainage system has not been incorporated in the building nor in the event the drainage system has been rendered inoperative or ineffective by any means or by any person beyond the control of NB Power.
