Issuance of such certificate shall not be required for alteration to an existing water system.

The Board of Health may order all further work in and about any water system which is being erected or installed in violation of this chapter to be stopped forthwith, except such work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation and, thereafter, the work continued without any violation of any of the provisions of the standards. After issuance of any such order and the service of a copy thereof upon any person connected with or working in and about the erection or installation of any such water system or any part thereof, no further work shall be done thereon except as aforesaid.
