![channels, open or closed, intended to carry off the superfluous moisture, ground or surface water, storm waters, and waters used in the irrigation of land, but rarely if ever occurs in this sense in sanitary law. A sewer is a public drain, common to a number of separate houses or premises, the drainage from which it receives, and is vested in the Local Authority. The distinction is expressed in the phrases, a, private drain and a public sewer. Sewerage is the construction of, or collectively the system of, sewers ; sewage is the liquid conveyed by sewers. Private Improvements are nowhere denned, save as implied in § 213 of the p.h.a. They are works executed by the L.A. for the sole benefit of a few owners, from whom the expenses are recovered by a special rate, for which they are assessed according to the rateable values of their respective pro- perties, or in the case of paving, of their several frontages. The making of new streets and paving of the footways is in the first instance a P.I.E., but after notice given, the street is subsequently dedicated or taken over by the L.A., unless a majority of the owners object, preferring to retain control over it as a private road, though with the burden of its maintenance as a perpetual P.I.E. Contributory places are in like manner not explicitly defined, but [p.h.a. § 229] denote the permanent or provisional divisions of a Rural Sanitary District, which may be separately assessed to contribute to the cost of works (usually sewerage), undertaken by the L.A., wholly or mainly for their benefit, but which are vested in the L.A., and may be subsequently maintained from the general rate.
