Provision of certain pipes. |
9.—(1) A sanitary authority may, if they so think proper, provide, or contribute to the cost of providing— | |
(a) service pipes or portions of service pipes for the supply of water from a watermain to any premises, | ||
(b) drainage pipes or portions of drainage pipes for the drainage of any premises, whether to a sewer or elsewhere. | ||
(2) For the purpose of providing any pipe under this section, a sanitary authority shall have the powers mentioned in section 18 of the Public Health (Ireland) Act, 1878 , as if the pipe were a sewer, but— | ||
(a) as respects the powers mentioned in that section as exercisable after the giving of notice, they shall not be exercised save where— | ||
(i) there are premises in respect of which the sanitary authority could serve a notice under subsection (1) or subsection (2) of section 8 of this Act but for the fact that service of the premises by the sewerage or water supply system would require a connection exceeding one hundred feet in length, and | ||
(ii) the proposed pipe is for extending such system to any point which is one hundred feet or less, but not nearer than fifty feet, from the premises, and | ||
(b) on exercising any such power, the sanitary authority shall be liable to pay such (if any) compensation as if the power had been exercised under that section. |
