The Act is composed of 171 sections. It defines the functions and powers of district commissioners. Commissioners have to prepare a plan for the execution of waterworks and must identify the beneficiaries. Commissioners can require owners to execute the works decided (sec.110) or can execute, operate and maintain works themselves (sect. 100), for this purpose they can create a Maintenance Fund (sec.102).
