Where there is an application for water service for property which does not front on a water main, and the applicant wishes to have the main extended so that his property may be served in the regular manner, he may make application for such main extension. The water superintendent shall determine the proper size of main necessary, giving due consideration to future requirements, but in no case shall the main be smaller than eight inches inside diameter, except in cases where the city engineer shall rule that smaller line is sufficient where no great future growth is anticipated. The water superintendent or the city engineer shall also determine what accessories and appurtenances may be necessary to complete the work required. All pipes shall be Ductile Iron, Class 52 with cement mortar lining. All main line valves smaller than 12 inches shall be iron body, parallel seat, double disc, bronze mounted gate valves and all main line valves 12 inches and larger shall be rubber seated Class 150B Butterfly valves conforming to the then specifications of the American Waterworks Association. Fire hydrants shall be six inches conforming to the then specifications of the American Waterworks Association. Each hydrant shall be provided with an auxiliary valve. The applicant shall be responsible for having the water main constructed by a bonded contractor, licensed by the state of Washington. The water main must be constructed according to the city code specifications, and shall extend to and across the full width of the property being served with water. If the applicant fails to pay for any costs of the construction of the water main or any damages resulting from the construction of the water main, then the city may charge these costs or damages to the applicant and the city shall have right to file a lien with the county auditor, foreclosable as a mortgage against the property for which such installation was made for the total amount of the costs or damages.
