ORDINANCE No. 13 of 1901.
Public Health,
41. The rain-water from roofs, which slope towards enclosed court-yards, or back-yards, may, if diversion to the surface channel is impracticable, be received into the house-drain. But no ventilating pipe shall be used for the conveyance of rain-water from the roof.
42. No person shall, where it can possibly be avoided, lay any pipe for conveying sub-soil drainage in such manner or in such position as to communicate direct with any sewer, cess-pool or drain used for the conveyance or reception of sewage.
Nor-It is important to exclude sewage-tainted air from the sub-soil. The connection of sub-soil drains to sewers, even if a trap is used, is objectionable, because in dry weather the flow of the drain may cease and the water in the trap may dry up and leave a free communication between the sewer and the sub-soil drain. The object of sub-soil drainage is not only the removal of water, but the aeration of the sub-soil. The mouths of such drains, therefore, should be so placed that pure air can enter freely—a condition incompatible with direct connection with sewers or house drains.
43. In every case where the course of a drain shall be diverted, any cesspool previously existing and into which such drain may have previously emptied, shall be cleansed, deodorized and filled with clean earth.
44. All drains, or drainage works, shall be built and carried out in all respects in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health Ordinance, 1901, and of these bye-laws and of any that may be made hereafter, and if no written notice as provided by No. 1 of these bye-laws shall have been given to the Board by any person about to construct, reconstruct, alter or amend any drain on his premises, and if by such default the Board shall have had no opportunity of inspecting and approving or disapproving of any such drain actually built and already covered in, it shall be lawful for the Board on discovering the existence of such drain or drainage works to call upon the owner to open and uncover the same for the purpose of inspection, and should such drain or works prove upon inspection to be defective either in respect of design, workmanship or materials they shall be deemed a nuisance and dealt with as such.
45. All works connected with the construction of drains and drain-connections shall be carried out in strict accordance with the plans and sections previously submitted to and approved by the Sanitary Surveyor, or with such amendments to such plans and sections as may have been required by him, and such works shall be carried out in a proper and workmanlike manner with the best materials of their respective kinds and shall be subject during their progress to the continuous control and supervision of the Officers of the Board appointed in that behalf and shall be completed to the entire satisfaction of the Board.
46. Whenever any private house drain is about to be constructed or re-constructed in the City of Victoria, the Board shall have power to require the provision of a surface channel of approved materials and design, in lieu of a covered drain, in any position in which a covered drain may appear to be undesirable.
Waste pipes from buildings and surface channels from cook-houses, stables, cow-sheds, and the like shall discharge into such surface channel without the intervention of a trap; but any communication between such surface channel and a covered drain shall be by means of a trap.
LATRINES.
Every public latrine together with its fittings shall be kept at all times in a thorough state of repair.
3. Every public latrine shall be kept, at all times, in a cleanly condition.
ORDINANCE No. 13 of 1901.
Public Health.
3. While open to the public, every latrine shall have at least one able-bodied adult attendant constantly on duty therein.
4. All the partitions, seats, floors and channels of every public latrine, as well as all utensils therein, shall be thoroughly scrubbed at least once every day with such detergent and deodorant of such a strength as the Board may from time to time approve.
5. The whole of the interior walls of every public latrine shall be lime-washed and any fittings made of wood shall be tarred at least once every lunar month.
6. Fumigants of such description as may be approved of by the Board shall be kept burning in every latrine while it is open to the public.
7. The contents of soil pans in public latrines shall be kept covered with either earth, saw-dust, opium-packing or such other suitable material as the Board may approve of.
8. The soil and urine collected in public latrines shall be removed therefrom daily by the public conservancy contractor as provided for by the terms and conditions of his contract.
9. Every latrine open to the public before sunrise or after sunset shall be at such times adequately lighted.
10. Any building used as a public latrine shall not be used as a dwelling.
LAUNDRIES.
1. Every public laundry shall be registered at the Office of the Board, and every application for registration shall be made in the form attached to these bye-laws.
2. Every public laundry shall be situated in a building which is lighted, ventilated, drained and paved in accordance with the requirements of the Public Health Ordinance, 1901, and the bye-laws made thereunder.
3. Every public laundry shall be at all times kept in a cleanly condition and the inside surfaces of the walls thereof shall be lime-washed at least once every year.
4. No persons, other than two caretakers, may occupy any building or part of a building which is registered as a public laundry, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless such persons are actively engaged in carrying on the work of the laundry.
5. Every public laundry shall be at all times open to inspection by the Members of the Board or any of its Officers, who may be directed to make such inspections.
