All tapping and the making of connections with
the mains or water pipes of the district shall be made only upon application
to and written authorization from the Board. In determining whether
or not to authorize an application for a connection, the Board shall
consider the effect which such connection would have on the district's
existing facilities and its ability to provide quality service to
its consumers. Violation of this regulation shall authorize the Superintendent
to shut off the water without notice. Tapping shall be done or supervised
by the agent.
The owner must keep the service lines from main
to building and his plumbing fixtures in good repair and, at his own
expense, must prevent all unnecessary waste of water. The owner shall
be liable for such repairs as may be deemed necessary to prevent water
waste. Upon failure to comply with this rule, the Superintendent may
turn off the water and not turn it on again until the repairs are
made.
Service of any notice authorized or directed
by or on behalf of the Water District may be made upon the owner or
consumer personally, by leaving the same at the premises where the
water is supplied or by sending the same by mail to such party at
the last address furnished.
