spring, well, cesspool, privy, sink drain or private sewage disposal
plant, which is or may become prejudicial to health, the State Board
of Health may order said property to be connected with the water
supply or sewerage system, and the spring, well, cesspool, privy, sink
drain or private sewage disposal plant abandoned and left in such a
way that it cannot be again used nor become injurious to health. The
State Board of Health shall be empowered to prevent the construction
of any proposed well, cesspool, privy, sink drain or private sewage dis-
posal plant whenever or wherever it may deem that the proposed con-
struction would be prejudicial to health. After April 16, 1914, no
privy shall be built within the State of Maryland, except it be of such
construction as will effectually prevent any contact of fecal matter with
the soil and also access to such matter by flies. The State Board of
Health shall be the judge as to whether or not any privy is built in
conformity with this rule, and if it shall find that the regulation has
not been strictly complied with, it shall condemn the structure and
shall order that such changes be made as will be sufficient for compli-
ance with this provision.

282. The State Board of Health shall have supervision and control
over the surroundings of any source from which either surface or
underground water, for potable purposes, is collected for delivery in
containers; and it shall also assume jurisdiction over the method of
collecting, bottling and delivering such waters. After April 16, 1914,
no such waters shall be collected, bottled or delivered until a written
permit so to do has been issued by the State Board of Health to the
owner of such supply. No such permit will be issued if the State
Board of Health determines that said water is in any way injurious to
the public health. Corporations, companies and persons handling
potable waters, shipped from points outside of the State of Maryland,
shall receive permits to sell waters only upon presentation to the State
Board of Health of a permit issued by the State Board of Health of
the State from which the water is collected stating that the source of
such water supply and the method of handling the water, as practiced
within the limits of that State, are such as not to be prejudicial to the
public health, and that said water is allowed to be sold within the
limits of the State issuing said permit. Nothing herein provided shall,
however, prevent the State Board of Health from prohibiting the use
of such water shipped from another State, if in its judgment said water
is shown by analysis to be unfit for potable purposes, or if its quality
in any way is injured by such handling as may be accorded to it after
arriving within this State.
