A. 
Requests for service from the Village's water system shall be made to the Village Clerk on forms provided by the Clerk, which forms shall contain a covenant on the part of the applicant that he or she will comply with all rules, regulations and conditions relating to such water service, including payment when due of all water rates, assessments, rentals, fines and penalties assessed, or charges imposed, for or in connection with such requested service.

Where such requested service is for the use or benefit of a person, firm or corporation other than the owner of the premises to be so served, such request for service shall be made together with a deposit in the sum equal to the current minimum bill. This deposit shall be retained by the Village to secure payment of all water bills. At such time as such service is terminated, said deposit shall be refunded without interest, less any amounts still due and owing the Village for such water service up to the time of termination.

Any person, firm, corporations, or other entity who or which receives or otherwise accepts water from the Village's water system shall be deemed to accept the terms, conditions, and obligations that the Village may establish by ordinance from time to time in connection with the Village's water system, whether or not such person, firm, corporation, or entity has actual knowledge of the Village's ordinances or amendments thereto. The obligations of persons, firms, corporations, or entities who or which receive or otherwise accept water from the Village's water system shall include, without limitation, the payment of all fees and charges due at the rates established by the Village from time to time, as well as any penalties, fines, or liabilities that may be imposed by the Village pursuant to its ordinances.

Any person, firm, corporation, or entity occupying the premises shall be responsible for all fees, charges, rates, penalties, fines, obligations, and liabilities relating to such account, whether such person, firm, corporation, or entity originally opened such account or assumed such account upon the transfer of property ownership or occupancy; provided, however, that any person, firm, corporation, or entity who or which is a transferee of premises for which an account exists shall be relieved of any obligations and liabilities with respect to such account if such person, firm, corporation, or entity obtains a certified receipt of final payment from the Village relating to such account.

Such samples shall be taken in the presence of the Water Commissioner and delivered to or caused to be delivered to the testing laboratory by the Water Commissioner.
D. 
No water main or pipe, other than a service pipe connecting to the public water system, shall be constructed on any private property except in a duly dedicated public easement of the Village unless the Water and Sewer Commissioner shall waive said requirement on the basis that such an easement is not required for the proper and efficient extension and maintenance of the public water system.
A. 
Where new service pipes require the tapping of water mains and the installation of service to the water main, to backfill same, and to restore the street area to its original condition, including repaving shut-off boxes, it shall be the responsibility of the person obtaining water, at his or her own expense, to provide proper excavating where necessary, all in accordance with the Bannockburn Plumbing Code.
[Amended 5-22-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-12]

B. 
The actual cost to the Village of furnishing and installing each meter shall be paid by the person ordering the same immediately upon the installation and before water is turned on. The actual cost of keeping such meter in repair shall be paid by the Village. The person upon whose application any meter is installed or the occupant or owner of the premises where installed shall be liable for any breakage by freezing or otherwise, or any loss or damage to said meter in any manner except by ordinary use and wear, and the cost of making good such damage or loss shall be paid by the person upon whose application such meter was installed, or by the occupant or owner of the premises where installed as soon as a bill therefor is presented, and the amount thereof shall be a lien against the premises in which such meter is located to the same extent and with the same effect as delinquent water charges.
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.[1]

Editor's Note: See Ch. 109, Art. VI, 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.

Any person, firm or corporation may be permitted by the Water Commissioner to make special connections to water mains for private hydrants, standpipes, and sprinkler systems for use in the case of fire. An extra charge, as established from time to time by Village ordinance, shall be made for such permit, and all work in connection with such fire system shall be done under the direction of the Water Commissioner. Such private facilities shall be subject to all the provisions of this and other applicable Village codes and ordinances, shall be maintained in good working order by the owner of the premises where they are located, and shall be readily available and open to inspections by the Village at all times. A separate flow meter approved by the Village shall be installed at the user's expense for the purpose of measuring the amount of water used in emergencies.
