Application for the use of water shall be made to the Village Clerk. No water through any connections, pipe or main shall be sold or furnished outside the Village of Wolcott without permission from the Board of Trustees. After approval by the Water Commissioner, he will order Village employees to tap the water main; run pipe to the curbline; install a curb box and shutoff, and install a meter in a place acceptable to the Water Department for a fee stated in §
155-22. If it is necessary to dig or bore under the road to install a new water service by an outside contractor, the customer shall be responsible for all expenses.
Only authorized Water Department employees shall turn the water
on or off at the curb box to any premises, and they shall at all reasonable
hours have free access to the premises to inspect the water system
and read the water meters. Inside meters need to be read once a year.
If a customer is not home, a card will be left for them to read the
meter and return to the Village office. Failure to do so may result
in termination of service or a fine. If access is denied for any reason
a fine shall be imposed.
In case two or more parties are supplied with water from the
same line, if any of said parties fail to pay water bills when due,
the water shall be shut off until parties have paid. This includes
apartments, businesses and private lines.
