[CC 1996 § 525.010; Ord. No. 328 § 1, 2-6-1969]
The Board of Public Works, under the supervision
of the Board of Aldermen, shall have supervision of the wells, control
buildings, fireplugs, fixtures and pipes erected or laid down and
lands owned by the City of Salisbury in any way pertaining to the
City Water System. The Superintendent of City Services shall keep
all parts of the machinery and equipment in good order and in proper
condition and keep the water supply as pure and clean as practicable.
The Superintendent of City Services shall keep a map showing the location
of the main water pipes, the length and size of each of the water
mains, any extensions to the present water mains, the location of
fire hydrants, branch pipes and other connections from the water mains.
[CC 1996 § 525.020; Ord. No. 328 § 2, 2-6-1969]
Whenever any person owning property along the
line of any water main shall desire the introduction of water into
his/her premises, he/she shall make written application therefor to
the Superintendent of City Services. Such application shall set forth
the name of the applicant, location and direction of the property
to which the water is to be introduced, the purpose for which the
water is to be used, and the name of the plumber who is to do the
work incident to the introduction of water into the premises. Such
application shall be accompanied by cash or a check in an amount of
one hundred seventy-five dollars ($175.00) for an installation of
three-fourths-inch pipe. An installation requiring a pipe larger than
three-fourths (3/4) inch in diameter shall require a check in an amount
equal to the cost of sufficient pipe to reach the property line from
the water main, plus a water meter of sufficient size to serve the
size of the pipe, plus the actual cost of the necessary labor to lay
the pipe to the property line; or a check in the amount of one hundred
seventy-five dollars ($175.00), whichever is the greater. Upon the
filing of such application and approval of the same, the Superintendent
of City Services shall cause to be connected at the expense of the
City of Salisbury a service pipe from the water main to the curb nearest
the property in question on the same street on which the water main
is located. Thereafter, said water service pipe between the City water
main and the water meter shall be maintained at the cost of the City.

Whenever any presently existing water service pipe, not installed at the cost of the property owner as provided in Section 700.020 hereof, needs to be relocated or reinstalled, such installation shall be done by the Superintendent of City Services at a cost to the property owner of one hundred five dollars ($105.00) for three-fourths-inch pipe; and actual cost of pipe, labor and installation for over three-fourths-inch pipe, provided not less than one hundred five dollars ($105.00), and thereafter such water service pipe shall be maintained at the cost of the City.
[CC 1996 § 525.040; Ord. No. 328 § 4, 2-6-1969]
All water meters which are attached to the City
water system and which were functioning properly on the meter reading

meters to be repaired or replaced at the cost of said user of said
water meter.
