The first thing therefore that a local authority has to do is to frame the necessary regulations and appoint a “person to superintend the making of such communications.” The following is given as a specimen form of the manner in which these regulations may be compiled:[208] _Regulations made and ordained by the Urban Sanitary Authority for       , as to the giving of notice before any drains are made to communicate with the sewers of the said Urban Sanitary Authority; regulating the mode in which such communications are to be made; and appointing the person under whose superintendence and control the work is to be executed._ 1.--No communication shall be made with any sewer belonging to the said Urban Sanitary Authority, nor any drain made to empty therein, unless notice of an intention so to do, signed by the owner or occupier of the premises to which such drains belong, be left at the office of the borough surveyor two days previously; and such notice must specify the point at which it is desired that communication shall be made, and the time at which it is proposed the work shall be commenced, and any person not complying with these regulations will be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds. 2.--Work required to be done in connecting any house drain or drains with the main or public sewer, shall be executed in the following manner: The ground to be excavated to the required depth with all possible expedition, the work to proceed by night and day; and there shall be maintained during the progress of the work all such fencings, hoardings, struttings, and shorings, as may be necessary for or in consequence of any of the works, for the protection of the public, and of all buildings and property whatever, near to or liable to be affected by the work, which shall also be well watched and lighted. The shoring and strutting of the excavation is to be done in such manner, with poling boards, waling pieces and struts, as the surveyor shall consider necessary. All surplus earth or material is to be carted away as speedily as possible. Care must be taken where the excavation is made in a road or path to keep separate the surface material from the lower, so as to replace them in their proper positions. The excavation shall in all cases where practicable be in open cutting, and not by shafts and headings. The junction with the main sewer to be done in the following manner:-- The drain shall in no case be less than four inches internal diameter, and shall be constructed of well-burnt glazed socketed stoneware pipes, circular, perfectly true in bore, and straight, with whole socket joints free from flaws, blisters, cracks, or other defects, set in Portland cement joints with a uniform fall, well bedded on well-rammed and solid ground, the sockets being sunk into it so as to give an even bearing. No shafts or sudden falls will be allowed.
