No person, other than an authorized employee of the Department,
shall turn on or off any water service, except that a licensed plumber
may turn on water service for testing his work (when it must be immediately
turned off) or upon receiving a written order from the Department;
provided, that upon written permit from the Department, water may
be turned on for construction purposes upon payment of the charges
applicable thereto.
No person, except an employee of the Township in the performance
of his duties, shall open or use any fire hydrant except in case of
emergency, without first securing a written permit from the Department
and paying such charges as may be prescribed.
The Township reserves the right at all times (and will endeavor
to give due notice) to shut off the water at the water mains or to
require reduced use or no use of the water distribution system for
the purpose of making repairs or extensions or for other purposes.
All persons having equipment on their premises and depending on water
from the water mains are hereby cautioned against danger which might
arise from emergency shutting off of water. In the event of such emergency,
the Township Board or its designee may designate in any notice the
extent of any regulation, limitation or prohibition and the date and
time on which it shall take effect.
The Township will not be responsible for any damages because
of failures of or within the water distribution system, or actions
by the Township to correct such failures.
