Applications will be made in accordance with Article VI and include completing the city's application, payment of the applicable service connection charge (which includes an account security deposit, meter charge, service line charge and capital facilities charge), and any other required fees.
(Ord. 721 § 1)
Prior to approving any application for regular water service, the city will evaluate the impact of the proposed service on the system and the city's ability to provide service. Typically, the size of connection and meter is dependent upon the water flow requirements for the premises including fire flow. The number and size of meters required will be determined by the community development department in cooperation with the fire department. The city will endeavor to approve the service within thirty days from the receipt of an application.
(Ord. 721 § 1)
When the city has approved regular water service, the city will furnish and install the new service connection from the main to the meter and at such location as the city determines. The service connection will be installed from the water distribution main to the curb line or property line of the premises, which may abut on the street, on other thoroughfares, or on the city right-of-way or easement.
(Ord. 721 § 1)
The applicant may apply for as many service connections as may be reasonably required to serve the premises; provided, that the customer has separate facilities and equipment for each service connection that is independent of the others and not interconnected. The cost of all service connections shall be borne by the applicant.
(Ord. 721 § 1)
Each premises will have at least one service connection, which includes a meter. When two or more buildings, living or business quarters are maintained upon a single premises and under a single control or management, one service connection may serve all such buildings, living or business quarters, in which case only one monthly minimum charge shall be applied and the responsibility for payment of charges for all water furnished shall be assessed by the customer having control or management over the premises. In the alternative, the customer may choose to have separate service connections to each building, or living or business quarters. However, if the premises is divided and the buildings, living or business quarters come into separate ownership, new service connections must be installed so that there are separate service connections with meters for each premises in separate ownership.
