76 .         Other consequences of contravening this Act or by-laws

                If any person supplied with water by the water board —

            (a)         does, or causes or permits to be done, anything in contravention of the provisions of this Act or of the by-laws; or

            (b)         omits to do, or prevents being done, anything which under any of those provisions ought to be done for the prevention of the waste, misuse, or undue consumption of the water of the water board,

                the water board may (without prejudice to any other remedy against him) cut off any of the pipes by or through which water is supplied by the water board to him or for his use, and may discontinue the supply of water to him so long as the cause of injury remains or is not remedied; but such cutting off shall not affect or take away his liability to payment of rates.
