A.
No water service shall be laid through any trench
having cinders, rubbish, rock, or gravel fill, or any other material
which may cause injury to or disintegration of the service pipe, unless
adequate means of protection are provided by sand filling or such
other insulation as may be approved by the Utility. Service pipes
passing through curb or retaining walls shall be adequately safeguarded
by provision of a channel space or pipe casing, not less than twice
the diameter of the service connection. The space between the service
pipe and channel or pipe casing shall be filled and lightly caulked
with an oakum, mastic cement or other resilient material and made
impervious to moisture.
B.
In backfilling the pipe trench, the service pipe must
be protected against injury by carefully hand tamping the ground filling,
free from hard lumps, rocks, stones or other injurious material, around
and at least six inches over the pipe.
C.
All water supplies shall be of undiminished size from
the street main into the point of meter placement. Beyond the meter
outlet valve, the piping shall be sized and proportioned to provide,
on all floors, at all times, an equitable distribution of water supply
for the greatest probable number of fixtures or appliances operating
simultaneously.

A.
Where the property owner requests that a larger water
service lateral pipe be installed to replace an existing smaller diameter
pipe, an allowance of $15 will be made as a deduction in the cost,
provided that the new service is to be installed in the same ditch
as the existing water service lateral pipe.
B.
The water service lateral pipe from the main to and
through the water service shutoff valve/isolation valve will be maintained
and kept in repair and, when worn out, replaced at the expense of
the Utility. The property owner shall maintain the water service lateral
pipe from the water service shutoff valve/isolation valve to the point
of use.
C.
If an owner fails to repair a leaking or broken water
service lateral pipe from water service shutoff valve/isolation valve
o point of metering or use within such time as may appear reasonable
to the Utility after notification has been served on the owner by
the Utility, the water will be shut off and will not be turned on
again until the repairs have been completed.
D.
Effective
September 30, 2022, the Village shall require the mandatory replacement
of all utility and customer lead service lines upon the subsequent
replacement of the utility's water mains connecting to those
services, should any such service line need to be repaired, or any
other project be developed for the explicit purpose of replacing lead
service lines. Financial assistance to customers for the replacement
of customer side service lines containing lead (LSLs) will be provided
by the water utility in accordance with the Village's adopted
Lead Service Line Replacement Program.
