PART IV.—SANITARY BY-LAWS.

Drainage.

1. From and after the coming into force of these by-laws every person on whose behalf any underground drain, or on whose behalf any water-closet or septic tank is laid or constructed, shall cause all the provisions of this Part of these by-laws to be complied with.

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

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

(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.

(d.) No person shall allow any household waste or offensive matters to remain on or flow from any dwelling or land in his occupation on to a road or into a ditch or open drain.

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

(f.) No person shall lead the waste matters from any water-closet 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 under subsection (a) hereof unless all the drains and sewers through which the waste matters from such water-closet would pass are closed drains and sewers, connected to a final sewer outfall or septic tank so constructed and maintained as when used not to be offensive or injurious to health.

(g.) No inlet connected with a drain shall be laid or maintained within or under a building. For every house where drainage is provided a gully-trap must be provided in the yard placed where most convenient for kitchen waste waters.

(h.) For household slops and discharge 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. diameter at the inlet and 4 in. at the outlet, and fitted with dished tops and movable gratings. The dish must be joined to the trap by means of 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. Gully-traps must have a water seal of not less than 2½ in., with openings of suitable outlet capacity.

(i.) All bath, lavatory, sink, wash-tub, 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 a height of 3 in. above) a watertight concrete channel led to a gully-trap, and not being distant therefrom more than 6 ft. The waste-pipe from the kitchen and scullery sinks of hotels, boardinghouses, clubs, and restaurants shall discharge over a grease-trap of approved pattern and material.

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

(k.) Kitchen sinks must be constructed of impervious materials. The following will be considered impervious materials: Lead, galvanized iron, copper, enamelled or plain cast iron, glazed fireclay or earthenware.

(l.) No water-closet shall be placed in any bathroom or in any room or closet used for any other purpose than that of a water-closet, lavatory, privy, or urinal, or in any room, unless at least one of its walls is an outer wall.

(m.) 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 shall be removed, and such portion of the drain or fittings shall be disconnected and removed, and any openings or connections with existing drains and sewers shall be properly closed and made good.

(n.) Where a drain is used to make a connection to a sewer or septic tank, or where a water-closet is connected with a drain, such drain shall be provided at its highest point with a ventilation shaft, whose diameter shall not be less than 4 in., and constructed of such material and carried to such height above the eaves as the Board’s Sanitary Inspector may direct.

No person shall construct any privy or closet other than a water-closet except in accordance with the following conditions, and the owner and occupier of any premises upon which any privy or closet exists, and which does not conform to these by-laws, shall, at any time after two months from the coming into force of these by-laws, cause such privy or closet to conform in every respect thereto:—

Every privy shall be so situated that the pan can be removed and the contents disposed of without the same having to be carried through any house, shop, factory, or workshop.

(b.) Every privy other than a water-closet shall be so constructed that at least one of its side shall be an external wall. The floor, including the space under the seat, shall be of good sound timber, planed, tongued and grooved, or of brick or cement, and shall be at least 6 in. above the level of the ground immediately adjoining thereto. It shall be properly lighted and ventilated, and the door shall be in the best position adapted to conceal the interior from the public view. The seat shall be capable of being opened or removed for its full width for the purpose of cleaning the space beneath, and fitted with a hinged cover.
