Section 5
(1)
Nothing in these Regulations shall be construed to require any person to alter or renew any water fitting lawfully fixed at the date when these Regulations come into force, or to provide any addition thereto, unless such fitting is, in the opinion of the Water
Authority, so defective or in such a condition or position as to cause, or be likely to cause, waste, undue consumption, misuse, erroneous measurement or contamination of water supplied by the Water Authority, or reverberation in pipes.
(2)
If any person has failed, after being given notice in writing by the Water Authority, to alter or renew any such fitting, the Water Authority may, by its servants or agents, enter upon the premises whereon such fitting is and make such alteration or renewal as may be necessary, and may recover the cost thereof from the consumer.
