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 mains or pipes of the undertakers, or into any pipes connected or communicating therewith; and the undertakers may cut off the pipe attached, or turn off the water supplied, 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 such cistern or other receptacle for water, or such closet, urinal, or private bath is constructed and used as prescribed.
