No service will be installed by the district on any private
property, or extended beyond the curbline of a street or easement
in which a district main is located, except in cases where in the
discretion of the district the proper protection of the district's
service connections, meters and meter boxes requires that they be
located closer to or inside of the private property lines, while still
allowing access to the meter acceptable to the district for meter-reading
and maintenance purposes.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
For any new or renewed service, the owner of the property to
be served must install a shutoff control valve on his own service
pipe between the meter and the structure or other use served, for
his own convenience in shutting off or turning on the water.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
The consumer shall install and connect, at his own expense,
his supply pipe from the point of consumption to the meter installed
by the district. The consumer's supply pipe shall at all times remain
the property of the consumer who shall be solely responsible for its
maintenance and repair. Consumers must be available at the time of
new meter activation to test all meters and their final destination
to ensure no meter cross-connection.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
Where the basement of the property to be served extends under
the sidewalk area, requiring the extension of the district's service
pipe through a concrete or other wall, the owner of the premises shall
provide the entrance way through such wall, and shall assume responsibility
for any damage caused by leakage through the entrance way so provided.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
The district will not do any work or supply any materials in
connection with the installation, repair or maintenance of any part
of privately owned water pipes or fixtures. Unless a special written
agreement is made to the contrary, all facilities on the consumer
side of the meter will be deemed to be the consumer's private property.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
When, in the opinion of the district, any water service connection
may or does interfere with or impair the district's service to another
consumer by reducing volume or pressure, then the district shall have
the right to refuse to install or to maintain such service connection
and shall have the right to terminate, disconnect or reduce the same
at any time.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
No one except an employee or authorized agent of the district
may connect or disconnect any service pipe connected to the district's
water mains or turn on or shut off the water supply, at or near the
source side of the meter.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
Where a single structure is to be served the service line must
proceed from the district main along such a course as will avoid any
prospect that it will traverse a separate land ownership in the event
of a future resubdivision or sale of land lying between such structure
and the district main.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
Where two or more structures are to be served on land under
single ownership, separate service lines must run from the district
main substantially at a right angle to each such structure.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
Whenever it appears that a private service line may traverse a course in violation of Section 11.12.080, a main of such dimension and construction as will be satisfactory to the district as a part of its system must be laid in such intervening land.
(Ord. 176 §1, 1978; Ord. 314 §2, 1990)
