Section 121e

to provide free and adequate piped water drawn from a public main, or where the Director so permits in writing, to provide free and adequate supply of potable piped water drawn from any other source which shall be filtered and treated in a manner approved by the Director;

to provide adequate electricity supply;

to ensure that the buildings are kept in a good state of repair and painted to present a satisfactory appearance;

and

to ensure that no unauthorized extensions or structural alterations are made to the buildings.

For the purposes of this section, the adequacy of water and electricity supply shall be as determined by the Director:

Provided that the Director may, if he is satisfied in any case that it is impracticable to provide piped water supply for each house, approve any other means of water supply:

Provided further that the Director may, in any case where he is satisfied that the provision of electricity supply is not practicable or viable, exempt the employer in writing from the requirement of such provision.

Where water supply is drawn from a source other than a public main, the Director may, for the purpose of ensuring that the water supply is suitable for consumption, cause the

Medical Officer of Health to take samples of water supply for analysis and report, the costs of which shall be borne by the employer.

Where water supply is obtained from a public main and is piped to each house, the Director may, on application made to him, partly or wholly exempt the employer in writing from the requirement to provide free water supply to the employees subject to such conditions as the Director may impose.

Where any extension or structural alteration has been made to the buildings without the permission of the Director, the Director may, after giving one month’s notice, require the employer to have the extension or structural alteration demolished.
