(Ord. 45 § V.5,
2009; Ord. 47 § V.5, 2019; Ord. 49, 7/16/2024)
It is unlawful for any person to draw any water from any water
pipeline or service connection of the CMWD, directly into any stationary
steam boiler, hydraulic elevator, power pump, or similar apparatus.
If a customer desires water from the CMWD to be used in any stationary
steam boiler, hydraulic elevator, power pump, or similar apparatus,
the customer must first apply therefor in writing to the CMWD, and
if granted by the Board, such customer must provide a tank or reservoir
of such capacity as is required by standard practice. No such tank
or reservoir shall be installed or used unless and until the plans
and specifications have been examined and approved in writing by the
Public Works Director or designee.
(Ord. 45 § V.6,
2009; Ord. 47 § V.6, 2019; Ord. 49, 7/16/2024)
Before any water will be supplied by the CMWD to any person
which requires a connection from the CMWD water pipeline on any real
property, the owner or occupant of the property shall make a written
application for such service and service connection, upon submittal
of a right-of-way permit application provided by the CMWD at the City
of Carlsbad's Engineering Department.

(Ord. 45 § V.8,
2009; Ord. 47 § V.8, 2019; Ord. 49, 7/16/2024)
A.
No water shall be served to two or more parcels of property separately
owned through a common service connection and meter.
B.
When more than one building is placed on the same parcel of property,
then each building shall have at least one service connection and
meter.
C.
When a multi-ownership residential, commercial, or industrial unit
building is placed on the same parcel of property and each is conducting
a separately established residence or business, a separate service
connection and meter shall be required and installed for each ownership
unit in the building. The cost of such service connection and meter
installation shall be paid by the owner or party receiving water service.
For good cause shown, the Public Works Director may allow one service
connection and meter to a multi-ownership building to provide service
to more than one residential, or commercial/office condominium on
a case-by-case basis; provided, however, that the size of the service
connection and meter shall be determined based on the combined fixture
units of all residential or commercial/office condominiums served
by the meter, within the building. In cases where the Public Works
Director allows one service connection and meter to a multi-ownership
building, there shall be recorded a deed restriction or other such
document as approved by the Public Works Director and General Counsel
placing future unit owner's on notice that each and every residential
or commercial/office unit in the building on the property is served
by a single service connection and meter, and in the event that the
water bill is not paid by the party or entity responsible for paying
the monthly water service charges to the CMWD for the respective building
occupied by the multi-ownership, the CMWD may at its discretion shut
off the water service to such multi-ownership building in accordance
with CMWD adopted rules and regulations. In addition, a multi-ownership
building with a single service line and meter is required to install
a private sub-meter for each separately established residence or business.

in each and every case make written application for, and obtain a
written permit for, the same from the City of Carlsbad's Engineering
Department before connecting to any water pipeline, fire hydrant or
using water therefrom, and shall make the deposit required by the
CMWD sufficient in its opinion to cover the estimated cost of the
water to be used. Such water meter permit shall be exhibited upon
the work for which it has been issued during the full-time the water
is being used pursuant to such permit.

or interruptions of service.

clause or phrase of this chapter or any part thereof, is for any reason
held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portions of this chapter or any part thereof. The Board
