Prohibition by Municipality of use of unwholesome water.

If a Municipality, on the report of the Senior Medical Officer or Health Officer, considers that the water in any well, tank or other places in the municipal area is likely, if used for drinking, to generate or cause the spread of any dangerous disease, it may- (a) by public notice prohibit the removal or use of such water for drinking; (b) by notice require the owner or person having control of such well, tank or place to take such steps as may be specified in the notice to prevent the public from having access to or using such water; or (c) take such steps as it may, on the advice of the Senior Medical Officer or Health Officer, consider expedient to prevent the generation or spread of any such disease.
