33. All work shall be done to the satisfaction and approval of the waterworks engineer or other officer appointed by the Board, and must be passed by him before the water shall be turned on at the main.

34. All drawing-cocks used must be of the best quality and most approved description, and must be those known as “screw-down” valves, and in exposed or public places must be enclosed with a wood or iron box, under lock and key, of a size, quality, and description approved on behalf of the Board.

39. No overflow-pipe shall be allowed to baths unless supplied by meter.

Repairs.

40. Upon receiving notice from any officer appointed by the Board so to do, the person or persons receiving such notice shall forthwith repair any service-pipe, meter, tap, or other fixing used in the supply of water to any premises owned or occupied by him, or in his charge, care, or control, or in which he shall be in any manner interested; or in default of so doing shall be liable to have the water cut off, and to a penalty not exceeding £5 for each offence.

Waste of Water

41. No person shall cause or permit or wilfully or negligently allow any waste, or permit any unnecessary use, of water to take place, either by allowing any cistern or other vessel to overflow, or the water to run from any tap, cock, valve, pipe, work, or engine, or in any other manner cause or permit waste of water.

Rates in Arrears

42. At the expiration of fourteen days from the date of any water rate being due, and after delivery of notice on the premises to which such water is laid on (excepting temporary supplies, which may be cut off after twenty-four hours’ notice), it shall be competent for the officers of the Board to cut off any such supply in such manner as may be deemed advisable.

45. Unlawfully draws off or diverts any water belonging to the waterworks. Wilfully or negligently allows any pipe or apparatus on his premises to be out of repair so that water is wasted, or alters any meter, or does or suffers any act whereby his supply of water is improperly increased.

Connects with a pipe of the waterworks any pipe of a strength or material not approved by the Board—he shall be liable to a penalty of not more than £20 for each such offence, and to a further sum equal to the cost incurred by the Board in repairing the injury done to any part of the waterworks by any such act.

53. Any person who shall violate or fail to do or observe any rules, matters, or things laid down in these by-laws, or shall do that which he is not entitled or allowed to do under the authority of these by-laws, shall be deemed guilty of an offence, and for each such offence shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £5, and a further sum not exceeding £5 for every day during which such offence shall continue.
