Any person who may be supplied with water by means of a branch connected with a private pipe shall have a sufficient stopcock affixed to such branch as near as possible to the private pipe so as to stop the flow of water through the branch when necessary without interrupting the supply to the other persons having a right to use the pipe with which such connection may be formed. Every person who may be supplied with water from a private pipe having a branch connected therewith shall also have a sufficient stopcock affixed to the private pipe above such branch for the purpose aforesaid. The use of private pipes shall be at the sole discretion of the Town.
The Town or its duly authorized agent is authorized and empowered, upon reasonable notice and in compliance with all applicable provisions of law, to enter and inspect the premises of any consumer of water for the purpose of ascertaining the number and character of all service connections on such premises and the condition thereof, and for the purpose of investigating whether there is any unnecessary waste of water. In case any unnecessary waste of water shall be found to result from want of repair in the pipes or other fixtures, the owner or occupier of such premises shall be notified to have the necessary repairs made immediately, and upon his/her neglect or refusal to do so it shall be the duty of the Superintendent to shut off the water from such premises and a $75 turn on fee will be assessed. No person shall turn on such water before the necessary repairs have been made.
After the initial connection from the Town main has been made and through time and deterioration the service lines have to be replaced as determined by the Town, the Town will replace the water extension from the main to the property line or stopcock at the Town's expense.
