Upon compliance with the provisions of this Part
2, the Village Clerk shall notify the Water Commissioner of such request for service, who shall make the necessary arrangements for the turning on of the water. No water shall be turned on by any person other than the Water Commissioner or a person authorized by him or her to perform his service.
Water service may be rendered on a temporary basis by the Water
Commissioner for construction work in progress upon the recommendation
of the Building Commissioner. A temporary water meter must be installed
prior to the provision of such temporary service.
Where a water meter is so located that it is not readily accessible
for reading, the Water Commissioner may require the installation,
at the water customer's expense, of a device whereby such water meter
may be read at a convenient location outside of the premises served.
Shut-off boxes shall be placed on every service and shall be
subject to the specifications set forth in the Village of Bannockburn
Plumbing Code.
All repairs and replacements of service pipes shall be made by and at the expense of the owner of the premises served, and shall require full compliance with all the regulations and requirements of this Part
2, including permits. It shall be the responsibility of the water customer to correct and repair all water leaks in the service pipe, at his or her own expense, where the Water Commissioner determines that such water leak warrants corrective action. The Village may, in case of emergency, repair any service pipes; and if this is done the cost of such repair work shall be repaid to the Village by the owner of the premises served and, if not paid, shall be a lien against the premises served to the same extent and with the same effect as delinquent water charges.
