49 Service pipes, &c., to be kept in repair
(1) If any person, when required by the undertakers so to do, fails to keep in good repair the pipes and other apparatus by means of which his land is supplied with water, the undertakers may cut off those pipes, or turn off the water from that land, until such pipes and apparatus are sufficiently repaired.
