Cap. 16 Art. 441Distance of sink- pipes or water- pipes.

(1) Any sink-pipe or any pipe for water dripping from the roofs, or for water raised by means of a pump or other mechanical device, shall be at a distance of at least one metre from the boundary, to be measured from the nearest point of the external part of such pipe.

(2) The observance of such distance is not required if the pipes used are such as do not allow any dampness to penetrate into the wall, or if other means are used fit to prevent the passage of any such dampness.

(3) Nevertheless, if, notwithstanding the observance of the distance prescribed under sub-article (1) of this article, or the use of such pipes or means as are mentioned in sub-article (2) of this article, damage is caused to the neighbour, the owner of the pipes shall be bound to make, at his own expense, any other work that may be necessary for preventing the continuance of the damage, and, if necessary, even to remove the pipes to a greater distance.
