PART III.

DRAINAGE AND SANITATION.

25. It shall be the duty of any person on whose behalf any water-closet, urinal, bath, sink, lavatory, drain, or other sanitary appliance shall be established, erected, set up, or altered, to cause all the provisions of these by-laws in any way affecting the same to be complied with, and in default thereof such person shall be deemed guilty of an offence.

(a.) It shall not be lawful for any person hereafter in any manner to erect, make, or establish a water-closet, a drain or drain-connection, or to construct or alter any sanitary appliance or work without first having obtained a permit from the Board; application for such permit to be accompanied by a plan of the proposed work.

(b.) Every person to whom a permit has been granted shall give twenty-four hours’ notice in writing to the Sanitary Inspector that the underground work in connection with the laying, alteration of, opening up, cleansing, or removal of drains will be ready and open for inspection, and no such work shall be covered up until it shall have been inspected, tested, and approved.

(c.) All underground drains used or intended to be used to carry away sewage or household waste waters or matters from any house or dwelling, and all sanitary connections therewith, shall in every case be constructed, adapted, and maintained in such manner as to sufficiently and efficiently carry away such sewage or household waste waters or matters; and the joints of such drains shall be made of cement, and made watertight.

(d.) No person shall allow any household waste, or impure waters, or any noxious matters to flow from any building or land in his occupation on to a road; or into any ditch or drain declared to be a public drain, or upon any adjacent land without the permission in writing of the local Board.

(e.) Every sink, lavatory-basin, closet, urinal, or bath shall be placed so that the outlet thereof is as near as possible to the external wall of the room containing such sanitary fitting, and the gully-traps over which the waste-pipes from such fittings discharge shall be placed so as to enable such waste-pipes to be of the shortest possible length.

(f.) No drain or portion of a drain may be laid so as to pass under any building; and no inlet to a drain, except such inlet as may be necessary for any water-closet, shall be placed or remain within or under a building. For every house where drainage is provided a gully-trap connected to the drain must be placed where most convenient for the receipt of waste waters.

(g.) For household slops and discharges from the waste-pipes of baths, sinks, and lavatories, self-cleansing gully-traps shall be used, such traps to be not less than 6 in. in diameter at the inlet and 4 in. at the outlet, and fitted with dished tops and with gratings. The dish must be joined to the trap by a socket-and-spigot joint, properly finished with cement, or may be of one piece with the trap, and the depth of the dish to the top of the grating must not be less than 3 in. Gratings to gully-traps must be movable, and provided with openings of suitable outlet capacity. Gully-traps must have a water seal of not less than 2 in. in depth.

(h.) All bath, lavatory, sink, washtub, rain-water, or other waste-pipes shall discharge into the open air, either directly over a trapped gully at a height of not less than 3 in. nor more than 6 in. above the grating thereof, or over (and at height of 3 in. above) a properly graded watertight concrete or earthenware channel led to a gully-trap. The waste pipes from the kitchen and scullery sinks of hotels, boarding-houses, clubs, and restaurants shall discharge over a grease trap of approved pattern and material.

(i.) The waste-pipes of baths, lavatories, and sinks shall be trapped directly under their intakes with approved siphon traps of equal bore, and having a seal of not less than 2 in., and provided with an access cap.

(j.) Every kitchen-sink shall be constructed of impervious material.

N.B.—The following will be considered impervious materials: Lead, galvanized iron, copper, enamelled or plain cast iron, glazed fireclay or earthenware.

(k.) No waste matters from any water-closet may be discharged into any drain or sewer not being a brick, concrete, ferro-concrete, iron or earthenware pipe drain or sewer. No person shall erect any water-closet unless all the drains and sewers through which the waste matters from such water-closet would pass are closed drains and sewers, connected to or with an approved outfall, or cesspit, or sewage-tank, so constructed and maintained as when in use shall not be a nuisance or injurious to health:

Provided that for the distance which such drain or sewer may traverse any foreshore below high-water mark, a properly constructed wooden chute may be permitted upon the written approval of the Board.

(l.) When for any reason any sanitary convenience or any portion of a drain, or any fittings in connection therewith, are no longer required for use such sanitary convenience and such portion of any drain or fittings
