[Added 6-17-1974 by Local Law No. 4-1974]
No tee or other fitting through which water can be taken will be permitted on the service pipe between the main and the meter.
Outdoor meter pits may be installed in special cases on written approval of the Village. Such meter pits must be installed in accordance with village specifications and at the expense of the property owner.
No branch will be allowed to be inserted in any service pipe without a written permit from the Village. Where branches already exist not provided with stop or curb cocks, in case of default in payment of water rent by any one customer, the main service may be cut off until the back charges are paid. The Village shall not be liable for damages to any other consumer who may thus be deprived of water.
No pipe or fixtures connected with the mains of the Village shall also be connected with pipes or fixtures supplied with water from any other sources, unless specifically approved by the Department of Health of the State of New York.
In the event that a change in ground elevation leaves a service pipe insufficiently buried, the consumer shall promptly lower or raise his service pipe to conform to the new ground elevation. In case the consumer fails or neglects to make such alterations promptly, the supply of water will be shut off until the alterations are completed, and a charge as set forth in § 141-34 will be made to cover the labor and expense by the Village resulting from the consumer's failure so to do.
In all places where steam boilers, hot water tanks, refrigerating or air-conditioning units are supplied with water from the water system, the owner or consumer must see that the plumber places a suitable safety valve, vacuum valve or other proper device to prevent damage from collapse or explosion when water is shut off. The Village shall not be liable for any damage resulting from sudden shutting off of the supply of water from any steam boiler or other fixture deriving its supply from the water system.
