50. All works connected with the construction of drains, sewers, and connexions shall be carried out in strict accordance with the plans and sections previously submitted to and approved by the Building Authority, or with such amendments to such plans and sections as may have been required by him, to make them comply with the provisions of the Buildings Ordinance, 1935, 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 control and supervision of the officers of the Building Authority appointed in that behalf and shall be completed to the entire satisfaction of the Building Authority.
51. Whenever any drain or sewer is about to be constructed or reconstructed, the Building Authority shall have power to require the provision of a surface channel of approved materials and design, in lieu of a covered drain or sewer, in any position in which a covered drain or sewer may appear to him to be undesirable.
Waste-pipes from buildings and surface channels from kitchens, sculleries, bathrooms, stables, cowsheds 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 or sewer shall be by means of a trap.
52. The position and depth of any sewer to which it is proposed to make a connexion shall be ascertained by the person submitting any plan or notice relating to any drainage works. The Building Authority shall, on application being made to him by such person, open the road or footway where necessary to enable such information to be obtained, but the cost of such opening and of the reinstate- ment of the surface shall be borne by the applicant.
53. The Building Authority, or any officer deputed by such Building Authority may, with such assistants as may be necessary, enter any building, curtilage or works, and may open the ground surface or take such other action as he may consider necessary for the purpose of inspecting and supervising the works to be carried out or about to be carried out under these regulations: Provided that any damage caused to the owner by reason of such inspection shall be made good by the Building Authority at the public expense should the work of which inspection is made be found sound and good.
54. In any case in which the Building Authority may consider the provisions of any of these regulations inapplicable or inexpedient, he may grant such modifications or exemptions as he may consider necessary.
