RESOLVED, by way of special resolution, intended to operate as a special order, that the following by-law be made by the Dunedin Drainage and Sewerage Board:—

BY-LAW No. 1.

In pursuance of the powers contained in “The Dunedin Drainage and Sewerage Act, 1900,” and of all other powers enabling it in that behalf, the Dunedin Drainage and Sewerage Board doth ordain the following by-law:—

From and after the 1st day of November, 1902, on which day it is declared that this by-law shall come into force, the provisions herein set forth shall have effect in the district.

Drainpipes and appliances to be removed, repaired, or altered on notice.

1. Any drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or other fittings or apparatus of dimensions, material, form, construction, or arrangement otherwise than in accordance with this by-law shall, upon notice from the Board, be removed, repaired, or altered by the owner or occupier of the house, tenement, or lands to which such drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or other fittings or apparatus belongs, or in connection with which the same is used, in the manner determined and within the time fixed by the Board.

Drainpipes and appliances to be cleansed, repaired, or removed on notice.

2. If any drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or other fittings or apparatus shall, in the opinion of the Board, be or become of bad or defective quality or construction, or require to be cleansed, repaired, removed, or altered, the Board may give to the owner or occupier of the house, tenement, or land to which such drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or any other fittings or apparatus belongs, or in connection with which the same is used, a notice to cleanse, repair, remove, or alter the same, in the manner and within the time to be fixed by the Board, and if such owner or occupier shall fail to comply with such notice within the time therein mentioned the Board may cleanse, repair, remove, or alter the said drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or other fittings or apparatus, and charge such owner or occupier with the cost incurred in so doing.

Drains and appliances not to be removed, repaired, or altered without notice.

3. No person shall repair, remove, alter, or interfere with any drainpipe, soil-pipe, trap, water-closet, ventilator, urinal, sink, or other fittings or apparatus communicating with any drain or with any sewer of the Board, or connected therewith, unless he shall have previously given to the Board notice on one of the printed forms of the Board of his intention so to do (excepting always such reasonable action as shall be necessary to remove any obstruction from a water-closet, or to repair a burst pipe).

Licensed drain ers only to do work.

4. No builder, plumber, drainer, workman, or other person shall do or cause to be done any work in connection with the sewerage or drainage of any premises, or in connection with any fittings or apparatus connected therewith, unless he shall have been first duly admitted by the Board as a licensed plumber or drainer.

Material for drains and appliances specified.

5. Every person who shall hereafter construct, alter, or repair any sewer or drain shall, in such construction, alteration, or repair, use good sound pipes formed of glazed stoneware, or concrete, or iron, or of other suitable material approved by the Board. In no case, however, shall sheet-iron pipe be permitted to be used in contact with the ground, notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this by-law to the contrary.

Size and construction of drains specified.

(a.) He shall cause every such sewer or drain to be of adequate size, and no such sewer or drain shall be used for conveying sewerage unless the internal diameter thereof be not less than 4 in.; and where directed by the Board the same shall be laid in a bed of good concrete, or other equally suitable material, with a proper fall, and with watertight socketed or other suitable joints.

Provision as to drains laid beneath buildings.

(b.) He shall cause every sewer or drain to be so constructed as not to pass under any building, except in any case where any other mode of construction is impracticable, and if in any case a sewer or drain shall be so constructed as to pass under any building he shall cause such sewer or drain to be so laid in the ground that there shall be a distance equal at least to a full diameter thereof between the top of such drain at its highest point and the surface of the ground under such building. He shall cause the drainpipe used in any such case to be of cast-iron, jointed with lead, as is usual with water-pipes, or of stoneware bedded in and surrounded with good cement concrete at least 6 in. thick.

To be imbedded in concrete, &c.

(c.) He shall cause every such sewer or drain to be laid in a direct line for the whole distance beneath any building under which the same shall pass, and to be completely imbedded in and covered and surrounded with good and solid concrete at least 6 in. thick all round.

Drains to be ventilated.

(d.) He shall cause such drain to be ventilated in manner hereinafter provided by this by-law.

Inlets to be trapped.

(e.) He shall cause every inlet to any drain (not being an inlet provided in pursuance of the by-law in that behalf as an opening for the ventilation of such drain) to be properly trapped.

Pipes to be tested.

(f.) He shall cause all pipes, bends, and other apparatus necessary for any such house-drain to be submitted to the Board for their testing and approval, and passed by their Inspector before being used.
