34—Supply to groups of houses

        (1)         Whenever it appears to the Corporation that a constant supply of water can be effectually and more economically provided for any group or number of dwelling-houses situate in a court, passage, lane, or alley, within the water district, by means of a standpipe or other fitting fixed outside such dwelling-houses, the Corporation may provide, erect, and fix in readiness for use by the owners or occupiers of such group or number of dwelling-houses, and shall renew or repair, a standpipe, or other fittings, and shall afford and distribute by means thereof a constant supply of water to the owners or occupiers of such group or number of dwelling-houses.

        (2)         The said owners or occupiers, but not any other person, shall be entitled to take, consume, and use in the said group, or number of dwellinghouses, but not elsewhere, such constant supply; and the Corporation shall be entitled to receive and recover from such owners or occupiers water rates, in the same manner and to the same amount as if water had been supplied to each of such dwelling-houses in the ordinary manner provided by this Act.

        (3)         The expense of providing, erecting, and fixing in readiness for use such standpipe or other fittings, and of renewing or repairing the same from time to time, shall be borne by the owner of such group or number of dwelling-houses, or, if they belong to more than one owner, then by the respective owners thereof, in such proportions as the Corporation shall determine and by notice require.
