Title 17 - Water Power
15-1727 - Maintenance of Project Works.

1. The licensee shall at all times maintain the project works in good
repair and in efficient working order; shall promptly make all necessary
renewals and replacements, including such necessary renewals or
replacements as may, after a hearing, be directed by the department for
this purpose, and shall establish and maintain adequate reserves
therefor.

2. The department may at any time institute an investigation or hold a
hearing, or both, with respect to the compliance by the licensee with
the requirements of this section and the adequacy of the reserves
maintained by it for the purposes herein specified. After such
investigation or hearing, the department may issue such order or orders,
not inconsistent with title 17 of this article, as in its judgment will
insure compliance by the licensee with the provisions of title 17 of
this article, in respect to all matters so investigated.

3. The licensee shall promptly conform to and comply with such
directions, orders, rules or regulations as the department may make from
time to time in the interests of navigation, or for the protection of
life, health or property or other lawful purposes. He shall likewise
promptly conform to and comply with such lawful rules and regulations as
may from time to time be prescribed by the federal government, its duly
authorized officers or agents relating to the navigation of the waters
covered by the license.
