    (1) Where a Parish Council resolve that a Rural District Council ought to have provided the parish with sufficient sewers, or to have maintained existing sewers, or to have provided the parish with a supply of water in cases where danger arises to the health of the inhabitants from the in- sufficiency or unwholesomeness of the existing supply of water, and a proper supply can be got at a reasonable cost, or to have enforced with regard to the ]>arish any provisions of the Public Health Acts which it is their duty to enforce, and have failed so to do, or that they have failed to maintain and repair any highway in a good and substantial manner, the Parish Council may complain to the County Council, and the County Council, if satisfied after due inquiry that the District Council have so failed as respects the subject matter of the complaint, may resolve that the duties and powers of the District Council for the purpose of the matter complained of shall be transferred to the County Council, and they shall be transferred accordingly. (2) Upon any complaint under this section the County Council may, instead of resolving that the duties and powers of the Rural District Council be transferred to them, make such an order as is mentioned in Section 299 of the Public Health Act, 1875, and may appoint a person to perform the duty mentioned in the order, and upon such appointment Sections 299 to 302 of the Public Health Act, 1875, shall apply with the substitution of the County Council for the Local Government Board. (3) Where a Rural District Council have determined to adopt plans for the sewerage or water supply of any contributory place within the district, they shall give notice thereof to the Parish Council of any parish for which the works are to be provided before any contract is entered into by them for the execution of the works.
