43 Cisterns, &c., to be constructed so as to prevent waste
(1) Every cistern or other receptacle for water which the undertakers may require or permit to be used, and every closet, urinal, and private bath supplied with water by the undertakers, shall be constructed and used in such manner as may be prescribed so as effectually to prevent the waste, misuse, or undue consumption of water and the flow or return of foul air or other noisome or impure matter into the channels of the undertakers, or into any channels connected or communicating therewith.
(2) The undertakers may cut off the supply of water to any cistern or other receptacle for water so required or permitted to be used, or any closet, urinal, or private bath which is not constructed or used as prescribed, until that cistern or other receptacle for water, or that closet, urinal, or private bath is constructed and used as prescribed.
