Power to limit domestic supply
20 Power to limit domestic supply
The undertakers' liability under section nineteen may be limited by by-laws made under this Act or the special Act providing that the undertakers may refuse to supply water for – gardens generally, or gardens of any particular kind; domestic machinery, but not flushing systems for water closets unless the Minister administering the Public Health Act 1997 has first approved; domestic industries; swimming baths, fishponds, fountains, and artificial streams and pools; washing vehicles; or any other use specified in the by-law which is different from the uses of water commonly made in the dining-room, kitchen, bathroom, or laundry of a dwelling-house, in which uses the washing of floors is deemed to be included.
Instead of providing for refusal to supply water under subsection (1) of this section the undertakers may by such by-laws provide – for a limited use of water for the purposes set forth in that subsection by a limitation in respect of time, manner, or purpose; and that any additional use be subject to section twenty-five.
