(a.) Every privy (other than a water-flushed closet) shall be so constructed or altered that at least one of its sides shall be an external wall, and shall be fitted with a small trap-door or slide, so placed that the pan may be reached for the purpose of removing and replacing from the outside of such privy or closet.

The seat of the privy shall be capable of being opened or removed for the entire width for the purpose of cleaning the space beneath.
