(2)Where this section applies, the sewerage undertaker must in accordance with a section 117E agreement—
(a)take such steps in respect of the undertaker's sewerage system as may be provided for in that agreement in order to enable the use of that system for the purpose in subsection (1), and
(b)having taken those steps, deal with matter as requested.
