[Adopted 7-22-1976 as Art. I of
Ch. 171 of the 1976 Code[1]]
It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant
of any premises or for any other person, partnership or corporation
to use or permit the use of water supplied by the City of Margate
City to run or escape unnecessarily by reason of breaks, open valves,
open pipes, leaks or in any manner whatsoever.
It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant
of any premises or any other person, partnership or corporation to
use or permit the water supplied by the City of Margate City to be
used to operate any automatic water pump or siphon for the purpose
of pumping out or emptying any boat, bilge, receptacle, tank or otherwise.
It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership
or corporation to use the water supplied by the City of Margate City
to sink, jet or remove any piling, structure or other contrivance
without first obtaining written permission from the Superintendent
of Public Works of the City of Margate City and attaching, at or near
the connection with the City water supply system, a water meter which
will correctly record the amount of water so used and to be paid for
at the rate provided, and such use shall only be permitted at the
hours and for the time designated by the Superintendent of Public
Works, which hours shall be such as not to endanger the water supply
of the City of Margate City or cause a fire hazard, subject to appeal
to the Board of Commissioners should the person applying for such
permission feel that he or she has been unjustly discriminated against
or that the hours and time of such use so fixed by the Superintendent
of Public Works are unreasonable, but the decision of the Board of
Commissioners shall be final.
[Amended 1-25-1988 by Ord. No. 1988-1]
Any person, partnership or corporation violating
any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof before

to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 90 days,
or both, in the discretion of the Judge hearing the same. Each and
every day that a violation of this article occurs shall be considered
a separate violation thereof and shall be subject to the penalties
herein prescribed.
