Section 29
of Water Supply Regulations 1961 Reprinted 1999
Section 29
(1)
No service pipe, communicating pipe or distributing pipe shall be so laid as to pass into or through any sewer, drain or cesspool, or any manhole connected therewith, or into or through any ashpit or manure pit and, except where unavoidable, shall not be laid through, or allowed to remain in contact with, any foul soil or any material of such a nature that it would be likely to cause undue deterioration of such pipe. Where the laying of any such pipe through foul soil or injurious material cannot be avoided, the pipe shall be efficiently protected from contact with such soil or material either by being carried through an exterior corrosion-resisting tube or by some other suitable means.
(2)
No service pipe shall be laid underneath any building or structure, unless adequately surrounded by a duct of sufficient size to allow withdrawal of the pipe for repair.
Protection of water fittings.
