1995 Code)]
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
The waterworks and water supply of the City of DuBois and all
water mains, dams and appurtenances thereto belonging shall be under
the supervision and control of the City Council of the City of DuBois,
which, for the purpose of more effectively operating said water system,
may, annually, on the first Monday of January of each year, elect
a person to be known as a "City Engineer," who shall serve at the
pleasure of the City Council and shall receive such compensation as
Council from time to time determines and, in case of his removal,
his salary shall be paid for time actually served.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
It shall be the duty of the City Engineer, under the Department
of Parks and Public Property, to have charge of and supervise the
waterworks, water supply, water mains, dams and appurtenances thereto
as described by ordinance.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585; 7-24-1995 by Ord. No. 1544]
The City Engineer shall furnish the Clerk of the Bureau of Water
with reports, in writing, necessary that books may be kept to meet
the requirements of the ordinances together with such other data required
by the Public Utility Commission of Pennsylvania and shall furnish
bond in the sum of $1,000, to be approved by Council, conditioned
for the faithful performance of his duty and for the securing of the
property of the City of DuBois which may come under his control.
All City water supplied to the City and to such persons, partnerships
and corporations therein as may desire the same shall be supplied
and furnished only upon and subject to the conditions imposed by law
and this article.
All municipal buildings and swimming pools supported and maintained
by public taxation, also fire and street purposes, shall be supplied
with City water without charge therefor, but subject to such regulations
as to the use thereof as the Superintendent of Parks and Public Property
may impose.
All persons, partnerships and corporations desiring the use
of City water may have it supplied to them on condition that they
pay the established water rates and comply with all regulations relating
to the use of City water imposed by law, City ordinance or adopted
by the Superintendent of Parks and Public Property, pursuant to authority
given to him by ordinance of the City Council.
As a condition precedent to the supplying to any person, partnership
or corporation with City water, such person, partnership or corporation
must first file in the waterworks office with the Clerk of the Bureau
of Water, a written application, in form required by the Superintendent
of Parks and Public Property, for the use of City water, agreeing
to keep all service pipes in good repair and free from leaks; agreeing
to comply with all regulations of the City with reference to the use
of City water; and agreeing to pay, within the time specified by ordinance,
the established water rates for the service desired. All such applications
must be signed by the owner of the real estate or his authorized agent
where City water is to be used, and all water rates from time to time
accruing thereon shall be charged to such owner. All applications
heretofore made for the use of City water, now on file in the water
office, under which City water is now being supplied, shall be deemed
to be a sufficient compliance with this article, and no new application
need be filed in such cases.
Where an application has been made for the use of City water in the manner provided in § 440-7 of this article, and the service lines of the applicant are in serviceable condition and conform to the requirements hereof, a permit shall be granted to the applicant to use City water, subject to all regulations and conditions imposed by the City from time to time with reference to the use of City water; and no person, partnership or corporation shall use the City water for any purpose without such permit.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
No person, except the City Engineer or his properly authorized
employee, will be permitted to tap or make any connections with the
main or distributing pipes of the waterworks of the City of DuBois.
No street main will be tapped for the insertion of a larger
pipe than one inch.
No main line shall be cut for street connections to supply water
to consumers unless application and plan for the same is approved
by the Superintendent of Parks and Public Property.
[Amended 8-19-1946 by Ord. No. 736; 1-16-1952 by Ord. No. 804; 6-10-1968 by Ord. No. 1063; 7-23-1973 by Ord. No. 1183; 12-30-1974 by Ord. No.
1213; 7-11-1977 by Ord. No. 1258]
A.
Three-quarter-inch water taps and larger. No charge will be made
for service connections which will be installed by the City of DuBois
from the street water main to an approved curb box location in an
excavation provided by the tap applicant, at applicant's own expense,
from the said street main to curb box location. After installation
of the tap by the City, the applicant will be responsible for backfilling
of the ditch and restoration of the street in accordance with City
of DuBois directives and specifications. No applications for water
taps smaller than 3/4 inch will be accepted by the City.
B.
Water customers with existing 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch service connections having service pressure of 25 psi or more, and applying for a renewed tap, will be subject to charges for all labor, material and equipment costs, including 20% overhead expenses for installation of service connections from the street main to the curb box location. Such applicants will be responsible for excavation, backfilling and street restoration as provided in Subsection A of this section.
All 3/4-inch and one-inch taps are to be paid for at the time
of making application, and additional costs for paved streets and
street connections must be paid before the water is turned on.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
The City Engineer shall keep a record of the location of street
connections, curb cocks and valves.
Every street connection at the time of making the same shall
be provided with a separate curb cock and box at the curb of the sidewalk,
when practicable, for each tenement or premises to be supplied.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
No person shall extend pipe from any house or lot that has water
to another house or lot without the owner having first obtained permission,
in writing, from the City Engineer, and stops must be so placed at
the curbline that either premises can be shut off without closing
of the other.
The curb cock and curb box at the curb are the property of the
City, placed there for its sole use.
The pipe from the curb box into the premises of the water consumer
is his property, and all repairs to the same must be made at his expense.
If it becomes necessary to use the above-mentioned stop for the purpose
of turning off the water, to make repairs, and it cannot be operated
without opening the ground to the same, the cost must be borne by
the party benefited.
After the ground has been opened, if a new box is required,
it will be furnished by the City, free of charge, on application.
No additional distributing main or street connection shall be
laid between the first of December and the first of April.
Unless otherwise arranged in advance with the Superintendent
of Parks and Public Property, all plumbing from the curb inwards must
be done at the expense of the owner of the property and in a manner
satisfactory to the Bureau of Water. This regulation shall not be
construed to prevent parties from digging their own trenches and furnishing
their own material and fixtures.
In case of refusal of plumbers licensed by the City to do the
work for private parties solely because of their furnishing their
own material as above, the City reserves the right to authorize such
work to be done under such regulations or order as shall seem just
to all parties concerned.
The Bureau of Water shall furnish no material for use on private
premises and do no work thereon, except at the cost of the parties
benefited.
All service pipe (meaning pipe from the curb inward) must be
laid not less than four feet below the surface. All pipe laid in the
streets shall be at a depth of not less than four feet below the established
grade thereof.
Every service pipe must have a stop and waste inside the premises,
so placed and kept as always to be ready for use. It must control
the whole supply and drain all the pipes and fixtures on said premises.
It must be secure from frost and provided with a key approved by the
City of DuBois, Bureau of Water, which key shall be kept in a convenient
place ready for immediate use.
Where water pipes are put into buildings having front areas,
it must be carried down in the street four feet below the floor of
the area and pass under the floor at that depth.
No private hydrant will be allowed on the sidewalk, nor in a
front yard within 12 feet of the line of the street, unless the yard
is enclosed by a front fence; in which case the hydrant shall not
be nearer said fence than four feet.
Water for building purposes will only be furnished upon the
application of the owner or his authorized agent, who shall obtain
a permit for the same from the Clerk of the Bureau of Water.
No person shall use a hose for washing away collections of leaves,
heaps of dirt or offal, for flooding or cleaning the streets, nor
in any other wasteful manner.
Public drinking fountains shall only be in use between the 15th
day of May and the 15th day of October of each year. Faucets to public
drinking fountains shall be self-closing, of a style approved by the
City of DuBois, Bureau of Water, and supply to all such fountains
shall be controlled by the same.
Pipes and fixtures must be placed and arranged in such a manner
as will secure them against frost. Whenever it may become necessary
to carry pipes along outer walls, beneath floors, through open spaces,
or places where they may be affected by drafts of air, they must be
thoroughly boxed and packed or otherwise protected against cold.
All pipes must be free from jogs or sags that will obstruct the drainage; be securely fastened to their places and so pitched that when the stop is turned off all water will flow toward the waste, as provided in § 440-26.
Premises intended to be occupied by more than one establishment,
firm or family must be provided with an independent stop and waste
conveniently located for each office, store, shop, floor, apartment,
or set of apartments into which the water is introduced, so that any
portion of the same which may be separately occupied can be drained
without interfering with the supply of other occupants.
The plumbing of manufactories, business blocks, public buildings
and other places where large quantities of water may be used shall
be so done that the supply for all purposes may be metered at least
expense to the City. To this end a union joint and suitable section
of pipe is laid at a joint adjacent to the stop and waste.
Except in case of fire, no large current of water will be permitted
to flow at intervals, causing irregularity of pressure. The use of
fixtures which may create water hammers are prohibited.
Unless otherwise arranged with the City, feed pumps to steam
boilers must draw their supply of water from an open tank, which shall
be provided with a self-acting valve or float to control the flow
of water.
Whenever the City water is introduced into any premises or changes
are made in water pipes or fixtures affecting the supply, the rates,
or the security against frost, the plumber shall give notice at the
Office of the Bureau of Water as soon as the work is completed, and
the plumbing will thereupon be promptly and carefully reinspected.
The water will not be turned on permanently in any such case until
the City Engineer is satisfied that each and every rule relating to
the subject has been complied with.
Water consumers must keep their pipes and fixtures in good repair
and protected against frost at their own expense and will be held
responsible for any waste or damage that may ensue from defective
pipes and fixtures.
No continuous flow to guard against freezing or for other purposes
will be allowed, except by special permit and by paying extra for
the same.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
Whenever complaint is made by any water consumer that his supply
pipe is obstructed by frost or otherwise he shall be notified that
a licensed plumber must make a thorough examination of his private
pipes before anything will be done in the case by the City Engineer.
After such service by a plumber, if the water consumer shall insists
that the fault is with the pipe or pipes of the City, prompt attention
will be given to the matter, provided an agreement is first made,
in writing, that the complaining party shall pay all expenses in case
the trouble is found to have originated upon his own premises or between
his premises and the curb. Should the fault prove to be with the pipes
of the City, no charge will be made against the water consumer, and
he shall be refunded the amount of the plumber's bill for the preliminary
examination, provided the same is reasonable, of which the City Engineer
shall be the sole judge.
No person shall use City water for flushing sewers, settling
earth in ditches, circuses or purposes of like nature without a permit
from the Clerk of the Bureau of Water and paying for the same in advance.
Extension of distributing pipe (excepting as hereinafter noted)
shall only be made after petition by the real estate owners along
the line proposed, or their authorized agents, and upon entering into
an agreement which shall satisfy the City Council that an annual revenue
will be paid to the City equal to 7% of the cost of laying the pipe,
dating from the time the water is turned into the same for public
use. For extensions of mains outside the City limits, the assured
annual revenue must not be less than 12 1/2% of the estimated
cost of laying the pipe. Provided that the City Council may at its
discretion extend mains without petition.
The above rules shall not apply in cases where it may become
necessary to supply short gaps in distributing pipe in order to perfect
the circulation or to increase the size already down, which shall
be done as the City may direct.
Except in cases of emergency, all main or distributing pipe,
before acceptance, shall be subject to a hammer test under a hydrostatic
pressure of 300 pounds to the square inch.
The sums severally paid each year under agreements for the extension
of distributing pipe shall be applied on the annual water rents that
may be assessed against the premises of the respective subscribers
thereto abutting on the proposed line, but no abatement in such payments
shall ensue by reason of any excess over said annual rents or because
the parties in interest do not use the City water on the premises
of the respective subscribers thereto abutting on the proposed line
until the sum total of rents paid each year by regular water consumers
along the line of said extension shall equal the aggregate amount
subscribed.
In calculating the amount of revenue required for laying down
new distributing mains, a credit shall be allowed for the rents already
collected from water consumers on the proposed line.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
All water consumers shall be placed on meters, and no contracts
shall be made for the furnishing of water to any person or persons,
copartnerships or corporations other than the meter rates specified
by ordinance. The City Engineer of the City of DuBois shall place
on the line of each consumer a water meter for the measuring of water,
and bills shall be rendered quarterly from the office of the City
Clerk, as provided by ordinance, covering water rates. The said meter
shall be set as near to where the line enters the building as possible
and so arranged as to be at all times accessible by the Water Department.
The location of all meters and meter boxes, and the kind of meter
boxes both within and without the corporate limits, shall be determined
and approved by the Water Department of the City of DuBois. The property
owner shall fully protect said meter against frost or other damages.
Water used for industrial, commercial and public purposes must be
registered through separate meters.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
Meters placed upon the properties of the consumers shall be
at all times open to the inspection of the City Engineer, and when
such water meters get out of repair, if they are the property of the
owner, they shall be promptly repaired by the owner upon notice from
the City Engineer. If such repairs are not made, then the City Engineer
shall take such meter and have it repaired at the cost of the owner,
and if the owner shall refuse to pay the cost of the repair, then
the water shall be turned off.
All meters over 5/8 of an inch in size shall be purchased from
the City and shall be sold and set by the City at cost plus an additional
charge for overhead expense.
All meters installed by private consumers shall be purchased
from the City and shall be sold and set by the City at cost plus an
additional charge for overhead expense.
No other type or pattern of meter shall be used other than that
adopted by the City Council and must be a circular gallon reader.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585; 7-24-1995 by Ord. No. 1544]
All meters, before being set, shall be tested as to accuracy
of measurement by the City Engineer, and the consumer may, if not
satisfied as to the registration as shown by the meter, have it retested
by the Water Department by paying the City Treasurer an amount, as
established from time to time by resolution of the City Council, which
will be refunded should the meter prove to be registering incorrectly.
Water rents shall be assessed against the owners of the premises
where the water is taken and remain a charge or lien upon the property
until paid.
[Amended 10-8-1973 by Ord. No. 1186]
The Water Department shall read all meters once quarterly, but
the quarterly billing periods for said water customers shall vary
in the various sections of the City. For the year 1973 as to 2/3 of
said customers, their meters shall be read in November to cover the
water used in October and November. The remaining 1/3 of said water
customers' meters shall be read in December and their bills will be
for a full quarter. Beginning with 1974, each 1/3 of said water customers'
meters shall be read in different months and they will be billed in
separate months, and the bills will be sent out on the last day of
each month.
[Amended 10-8-1973 by Ord. No. 1186]
All water rates shall be due and payable to the City Treasurer
of the City of DuBois quarterly, on the 17th day following the date
of billing for water used during the previous quarter.

[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
It shall be the duty of the Clerk of the Bureau of Water to
make a list of all persons who have not paid their water rents by
the 20th day of January, April, July and October of each quarter and
certify the same to the City Engineer, and if the Clerk fails to certify
such rates, he shall be charged with the same.
[Amended 6-24-1933 by Ord. No. 585]
