563. Any local corporation may make, amend or repeal by-laws:
(1) to require, notwithstanding any Act inconsistent herewith, that the construction of private conduits, water intakes and sewer outlets, as well as their connection with the public conduits and their maintenance, be done at the expense of the owner, the cost of repairing the street, pavement and sidewalk, where necessary, forming part of such expense;
(2) to oblige every owner of an immovable to instal a check-valve therein in order to prevent any back-flow of sewage. Should the owner fail to instal such check-valve or safety device in accordance with the by-laws passed under this paragraph, the municipal corporation shall not be liable for damages caused to the immovable or its contents through flooding occasioned by the back-flow of sewage.
