(1)- Where it appears to the Jal Sansthan that there are reasonable grounds for believing that a private sewer or cesspool is in such condition as to be prejudicial to health or to be a nuisance or that a private sewer communicating directly or indirectly with a sewer of the Jal Sansthan is so defective as to admit sub-soil water or grit or other material it may examine its condition and for that purpose may apply any test, not being a test by water under pressure, and if it deems it necessary, open the ground.
(2)(a)- If on examination the sewer or cesspool is found to be in proper condition, the Jal Sansthan shall as soon as possible, reinstate any ground which has been opened by it and determine any pay compensation for the damage caused by it.
(b)- If on the other hand, the sewer or cesspool so examined is found to be defective, the Jal Sansthan may forthwith stop its functioning or disconnect it from the sewer of the Jal Sansthan, or require the owner or occupier to take remedial action as directed and within a time specified, by the Jal Sansthan and in any such event the Jal Sansthan may recover the cost incurred by it from the owner or occupier, as the case may be.
(3)- In case of dispute as to the sufficiency of the amount so determined, the Jal Sansthan shall refer the dispute to the Nigam whose decision thereon shall be final.
