The owner of any premises on which a tank, cistern, or other
receptacle not provided by the occupier of such premises is used for
storing of water used or likely to be used by man for drinking or
domestic purposes, or for manufacturing drink for the use of man,
shall cause every such tank, cistern, or other receptacle which is
erected outside a building or which being erected inside a building is
not placed in a suitable chamber, or otherwise constructed or placed
so as to prevent the pollution of the water therein, to be provided
with a proper cover.
The occupier of any premises on which a tank, cistern, or other
receptacle is used for storing of water used or likely to be used by
man for drinking or domestic purposes, or for manufacturing drink
for the use of man, shall empty and cleanse the same, or cause the
same to be emptied and cleansed, once at least in every six months,
and at such other times as may be necessary to keep the same in a
cleanly state and free from pollution.
He shall cause every such tank, cistern, or other receptacle which
as erected outside a building, or which, being erected inside a
building, is not placed in a suitable chamber, or otherwise constructed
or placed so as to prevent the pollution of the water therein, to be
kept at all times properly covered. Provided that in every case
where any tank, cistern, or other receptacle used for storing of water
used or likely to be used by man for drinking or domestic purposes,
or for manufacturing drink for the use of man, is used for suppliying
water to persons occupying two or more separately occupied premises
the foregoing requirements shall apply to the owner of such premises
instead of to any occupier thereof.
The person in occupation of, or having the charge, management,
or control of the premises, or if there is no such person, then any
person in occupation of, or having the charge, management, or control
of any part of the premises, and in the case of any premises the
whole of which is let to lodgers, the person receiving the rent payable
by the lodgers, either on his own account, or as the agent of another
person, shall, for the purposes of this bye-law, be deemed to be the
occupier.
