A licensee commits an offence if—
the licensee connects a sanitary drain or sanitary plumbing (additional sanitary drainage or plumbing) to a sanitary drain or sanitary plumbing to which this section applies between a separated grey water waste fixture and a grey water point; and
the additional sanitary drainage or plumbing is connected to a sanitary fixture that is not a separated grey water waste fixture.

An offence against this section is a strict liability offence.
Example
In a single residential building, there is a sanitary drain connected only to the bath, the hand basin in the bathroom, a shower and the laundry tub (all separated grey water waste fixtures). Jodie, a licensee, connects the kitchen sink (not a separated grey water waste fixture) to the drain at a point between the laundry tub and a grey water point. The connection of the kitchen sink to the drain is an offence against this section.
