Such deposits (except in case of urgency) are to bo made at least
fifteen days before such work, or in the case of a new building, before
such building is commenced.
For cases in which the alteration of the drains must be carried out
at once, it is sufficient if notice in writing of such proposed alteration is
sent to the Sanitary Authority and the other particulars deposited within
two weeks.
The records, which the provisions of these Bye-laws enable the
Council to compile, will be of the greatest value, as from the date of
their coming into full operation there will be available the complete
history of the sanitary arrangements and any alteration of all premises
within the Borough; and the chance of a drain being surreptitiously
converted into a sewer or of drainage alterations being made in such a
manner as likely to be dangerous to health, is reduced to a minimum by
the clauses which make it obligatory to give notice to the Council before
any such work is commenced.
To facilitate as far as possible the task of those who have to supply
the particulars required by these Bye laws and in the interests of
uniformity, the following schedule form of application, and form for use
in cases of emergency, have been adopted by the Council with highly
satisfactory results.
