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.
