REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former HE § 9-218.

In subsections (a) and (c) of this section, the former
words "public or private" are deleted as unnecessary,
in light of the nonlimiting references to "source of
water or ice" and "a water supply system, sewerage
system, or refuse disposal system".
