40 Undertakers may require cisterns in certain cases

(1)  Every person supplied with water for purposes other than irrigation shall, when required by the undertakers, provide a proper storage tank to hold the water with which he is so supplied, with a ball and stop cock in the pipe bringing the water from the works of the undertakers to the tank and shall keep the tank, ball, and stop cock in good repair, so as effectually to prevent the water from running to waste.

(2)  If any such person, when required by the undertakers, neglects to provide such a tank, ball, or stop cock, or to keep the same in good repair, the undertakers may cut off the pipe or turn off the water from the land of that person until the tank, ball, or stop cock is provided or repaired, as the case may require.
