Clause 11

Every sewerage system shall be altered, repaired and kept in proper order at the cost and expense of the owner of the premises to which the sewerage system belongs or for the use of which it is maintained.

The Director may, by notice in writing, require the owner of any premises referred to in subsection (1) to alter, repair or put the sewerage system in good order in the manner required by the Director.

Where the Director is satisfied that it is immediately necessary to alter, repair or put in good order and condition any sewer, drain-line, privy, cesspool, septic or other tank, toilet, urinal, water-closet, sink, bath or lavatory or any appurtenance thereof, the Director or any authorised officer may enter upon any premises and carry out or cause to be carried out such alterations, repairs, works, acts or things as are necessary for any of those purposes.

Any expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in carrying out the works referred to in subsection (3) may be recovered from the person who is the owner of the premises when the work is completed.
