Abstract

By-laws to make provision for the application of the British Standard to water pipes and fittings. Any requirements in these By-laws that a water fitting shall comply with a British Standard shall extend only to so much of that Standard as relates to the size, nature, materials, strength and workmanship of such fitting, and be deemed to be satisfied, notwithstanding any departure from such Standard, if that departure does not affect the efficiency or suitability of the fitting in relation to the purposes for which these By-laws were made. These by-laws require persons, for the purpose of conveying, delivering, receiving, or using water supplied by the Commissioner - (a) not to use any water fitting which is of such nature, or is so arranged or connected, as to cause or permit, or be likely to cause or permit, waste, undue consumption, misuse, erroneous measurement or contamination of water or reverberation in pipes; (b) not to use any water fitting which is not in accordance with such of the particular requirements of these by-laws as may be applicable to it; nor (c) arrange, connect, disconnect, alter or renew any water fitting in contravention of any requirement of these By-laws (by-law 4, comma 1). (47 by-laws)
