(1) No owner or occupier of any premises to which water is supplied by the Government shall cause any water to be polluted, wasted, misused or cause disturbance in equitable distribution of water or cause suffer to the service pipe, tap, other fittings or works connected therewith beyond repair so as to cause pollution, wastage, misuse or disturbance in equitable distribution of water.
(2) Where the competent authority has reason to believe that as a result of defect in the service pipe, tap, other fittings or works connected therewith, water is being wasted, it may, by a written notice, require the consumer to repair and make good the defect within such time as may be specified in such notice.
(3) If such repair is not carried out within the time specified in the notice referred to in sub-section (2), the competent authority may, without prejudice to any action which may be taken against the consumer under any other provisions of this Act, cause such repair to be made or removed and recover the cost of repair from the consumer as an arrear of water charges payable under this Act.
