[1943 Code, § 802.01]
No private supply pipe shall be laid or connection made thereto
by any person other than a duly licensed or bonded plumber acting
under authority of a permit issued for the laying of such private
supply pipe or connection therewith or thereto as herein provided
for.
[1943 Code, § 802.02]
It shall be unlawful for any person to interfere in any manner
with any water main, service pipe, water meter, buffalo or shut off
box, or any water pipe connected with the Village waterworks system
or comprising a part of such system, without permission therefor obtained
from the water department.
[1943 Code, § 802.03]
Every person supplied with water from the Village waterworks
system shall, at his own cost and expense, keep in repair all pipes
leading from the buffalo or shut off box to his building or premises
and prevent all waste of water from such pipes. If any such person
shall permit any such pipe to become broken or out of repair so that
the water is wasted thereby, the water department may, after two days'
notice in writing to such person to repair such pipes, cut off the
meter from such premises, and whenever the water is cut off, it shall
not be turned on again until the pipes of such premises or in such
buildings have been placed in proper repair. The notice herein provided
for may be served by personal service upon the owner or occupant or
person in possession, charge or control of the premises or by mailing
such notice to such person in possession, charge or control.
The water department may make necessary repairs and bill the
owner or occupant therefor.

[1943 Code, § 802.05]
No street, alley, public ground or place shall be disturbed

[Ord. 5-1-1950, § 1; Ord. 97-35, 10-2-1997, § 1]
No permit shall be issued permitting or allowing the installation

the applicant for such permit shall have deposited with the Finance
Director a $100 cash bond, or a $500 bond with good and sufficient
sureties, to indemnify the Village in the event of the failure of
such applicant to restore such public way in a good and safe condition
within a reasonable time after completion of such work.
