ever, it shall think fit, to stop the flow of water in any dis-
tributing races or channels, or in any branch or service-race
or channel, for the purpose of husbanding the supply of
water, executing repairs or alterations, cleansing races or
channels, or permitting the same to be cleansed, or for any
other purpose whatsoever; and no owner or occupier of land
shall be entitled to compensation for loss or deprivation of
water occasioned thereby or otherwise. In every case where
the owner or occupier of land through or along which a race
or water-channel passes shall be guilty of a frequent or per-
sistent breach of the by-laws or regulations of the Council
affecting waterworks, or shall neglect or refuse to fulfil any
covenant or agreement made between him and the Council
relative to the maintenance, repair, cleansing, or otherwise
of such race or water-channel, whether such race or channel
be a main branch or service-race or channel, the supply of
water thereto shall be stopped either permanently or for
such period as the Council shall think fit.

  1. Nothing contained in these by-laws or any supplement
    or amendment thereof shall be construed to be a guarantee
    by the Council to provide or supply water in any main branch
    or service-race or other waterworks to any fixed or specific
    quantity, nor to render the Council responsible for any partial
    or total failure of such supply by reason of drought, accident,
    or any other cause whatever, and the Council shall not be
    responsible for any loss caused by such failure, nor for any
    damage or injury which shall be occasioned by the flooding of
    the water from any waterworks on the lands adjacent thereto,

or which shall arise from any other cause connected with the
said waterworks; and, further, it shall be lawful for the
Council, whenever it shall think fit, to permanently close any
main branch or service-race or other waterworks without
being responsible for any loss or damage which may be sus-
tained by or occasioned to any occupier or owner of land
thereby.
