A.
The Town of Hartland hereby establishes the Water Code of the Town
of Hartland. This chapter is established for the purpose of regulating
water usage in the Town, providing for payment for water usage, providing
for and insuring proper and safe water usage, and establishing rights
and obligations of water users in the Town and to any out of district
users.
B.
From time to time, water in the mains must be shut down due to repairs,
leaks, maintenance, or other reasons. It is the intention of the Town
where practical to notify owners when the water in the mains is to
be shut off; however, it is often impractical and sometimes impossible
to do so, and the Town shall not be obligated to provide such notice.
C.
Whenever the water is shut off for any reason, all hot water boilers
should be immediately banked and water content checked often and thoroughly.
D.
Service pipes from the street to buildings shall maintain four feet
minimum trench depth to avoid danger of freezing. Particular care
shall be exercised to maintain the minimum when crossing gutters,
drainage ditches or other like depressions.
E.
When property is conveyed, written notice shall be given to the Water
Billing Clerk of said conveyance so that the transfer of ownership
may be noted and the new owner notified of his accounts.
This chapter shall apply to all that area within the boundaries
of the Town of Hartland exclusive of the Village of Middleport, and
also to all users outside of the Town of Hartland which are served
by this system. Service outside the district shall be at the discretion
of the Board.
