The necessary form of notice to be served in connection with
insufficient w.c. accommodation may be as follows:
_To the owner of the house No. in the borough of ._
Whereas the above-mentioned house is situate within the district of
the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of , the urban sanitary
authority for the borough of : And whereas it appears to the
said urban sanitary authority that the said house is without a
sufficient watercloset, earthcloset, or privy: Now the said urban
sanitary authority do hereby require you, the said owner, within
from the date of this notice to provide a sufficient
watercloset for the use of the inhabitants of the said house. And take
notice, that if you do not within the time above specified provide a
sufficient watercloset, as aforesaid, to the satisfaction of the said
urban sanitary authority, they will themselves, at the expiration of
such time, do the necessary work to provide such closet accommodation
as aforesaid, and proceed to recover the costs and expenses thereby
incurred in manner provided by the Public Health Act 1875.
Dated this of , 188 .

_Surveyor to the said Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses._

above notice:
“NOTE.--The urban sanitary authority may, if they so determine,
require a separate watercloset to be provided for each house, or they
may permit a watercloset to be used in common by the inmates of two or
more houses,[205] but in either case the closet itself must be

urban sanitary authority will approve of the existing closet
accommodation if it is perfected by means of the following works being
carried out. (Specification of work required to be done must here be
inserted.) The whole of the work to be executed in a workmanlike
manner and to my entire approval.
“It is, however, to be understood that the above notice requiring the
work to be executed within one month will be rigidly enforced; and if
at the expiration of that time the work be not completed, the urban
sanitary authority will themselves proceed to execute the necessary
work to provide proper closet accommodation in such manner as they may
deem most advisable, without pledging themselves to the adoption of
the method above suggested.”
