Section 124

A notice under this section may require the owner to execute the necessary works, or may require that the local authority itself shall be allowed to execute them.

When any works are carried out following a notice under this section, the owner of the premises shall not be required to pay more than one-half of the expenses reasonably incurred, the remainder being borne by the local authority.

Where the owner of any premises proposes to provide them with a water closet in substitution for a closet of any other type, the local authority may, if the local authority thinks fit, pay him up to one-half of the expenses reasonably incurred in effecting the replacement, notwithstanding that a notice has not been served under this section.

A local authority shall permit only such number of water closets as the local authority thinks proper to discharge into one septic tank.
