The Water Department uses Type K soft copper pipe tubing from 3/4 inch up to two inches in diameter and pipes in excess of two inches in diameter and uses cast-iron water pipes AWWA approved. It is requested that all service lines between the street right-of-way and to a point inside the building wall at the stop and waste valves be constructed of materials of the same type as used by the Water Department or as otherwise may be directed by the Director of Public Works.
A. 
The introduction of all service pipes will be made by the Water Department. The City of Ogdensburg will, in its discretion, tap the main pipe, furnish the corporation cock, necessary pipes, connection, curb stopcock and box to the street right-of-way.
B. 
All necessary work beyond the street right-of-way, such as excavation, purchase and laying pipe and backfilling trenches and restoring grassed area to its original condition, will be accomplished by the applicant. The pipe just inside the cellar wall of the building must be connected with a stop- and waste cock.
After the water service line between the street right-of-way and stop and waste valve inside the owners building has been installed, the completed work will be tested under City pressure and examined for adequate and satisfactory installation. Backfilling of trench will not be permitted unless approval is granted and authorized by the Water Department.
All service pipes shall be laid at least five feet below the surface of the ground, and they shall not be laid in the same trench with any sewer pipe or drain. Water and sewer separation shall be at least five feet apart unless as otherwise approved by the Director of Public Works.
All water troughs for pastures and all closets and urinals must be provided with self-closing valves before being supplied with water, and in no case shall any faucet except a self-closing bibb or faucet be placed over a closet, urinal or slop-hopper.
Hydrants and pipes rated as for fire purposes only shall be entirely independent of and free from connections with pipes used for any other purpose, and shall be used for no other purpose than fire purposes.
No service pipe will be permitted to conduct water into any two or more district premises or tenements unless separate and distinct curb stopcock shutoffs are provided at the curb, so that any one of the premises may be shut off without interfering with the other.
A. 
No plumber or other persons shall make any extension or addition to or in connection with or in respect to any of the water pipes or fixtures without first communicating the same fully and without delay to the Director of Public Works, who shall thereupon issue a written permit for water service.
B. 
With every permit issued will be attached thereto a report, which shall be signed by the owner of the premises or his authorized agent receiving it and returned to the Director of Public Works within 48 hours after the work is completed, setting forth fully the pipes and fixtures attached or disconnected by him or under his supervision.
C. 
The Water Department may cause said work to be re-measured, and in case it shall appear that the person receiving said permit has made fraudulent representations or returns as to the amount of work done under such permit, no further permit will be issued to said applicant or to any other person for him or in his behalf, under the circumstances, until all back rates are paid.
Rates for the use of water are due and payable on the first days of May and November, half yearly, in advance, and with a new consumer prorate in advance until such day is reached from the day of tapping, which are payable yearly in advance. Rates must be paid at the City Comptroller's office during the months of May and November, without penalty, and all bills unpaid at the expiration of the above-named months shall be increased by 10% of their respective amounts and left at the City Comptroller's office during the months of June and December for collection. On July 1 and January 1 or as soon thereafter as possible, written notice will be served upon all delinquents by leaving said notice at the last known address of the owner of the premises, that unless payment is made within five days, the supply of water will be cut off. If payment has not been made at the expiration of the time named in the notice, the Director of Public Works shall cause the supply to be cut off from the premises. A service fee may be imposed prior to again turning on the supply.
On all premises into which water is or shall be introduced, full schedule rates will be charged for all uses, and no rebate will be made or allowed for partial use of water from wells or other sources.
The regular rates for the use of fountains or jets will be based upon such use for a period equivalent to 10 hours per day for six months in each year, and whenever the water therefrom becomes a nuisance to adjoining property, the supply will be cut off until the evil is satisfactorily corrected.
An abatement of water rates on account of vacant premises or fixtures not in use shall only be allowed when the water has been shut off from such premises or fixtures. Consumers, whose premises have been vacated, must give notice at the waterworks office that the water may be shut off and they will not be held responsible for the water rates until such notice is given (all fixtures for which the Water Department has stated rates must be paid for or disconnected from the service pipe). In all occupied premises every fixture, whether used or not, will be charged for the stated rates and the rates collected so long as the same shall remain connected with the water pipes. An abatement shall be made for the number of whole calendar months that the vacancy shall continue but not otherwise. If the rates have been paid on account, of which an abatement is due, the amount shall be refunded or credited upon the bill for the following term. All abatements shall be approved by the Director of Public Works.
In laying a service pipe for any premises, doing work or furnishing material for said service and also in furnishing water, the Water Department shall deal only with the owner of said premises and although another may pay the tax, the owner of the premises shall be responsible for the same. Water tax will be regarded as a lien upon the premises supplied and a change of tenants or owners will not relieve the premises from the payment of the back bill; water having been shut off for nonpayment shall not be turned on until all arrearages have been paid.
A. 
All owners of premises supplied with water shall keep the service pipes and fixtures for and upon their premises, which shall include all pipes and fixtures from the curb stopcock shutoff, in good repair and protected from frost, at their own expense and they shall be liable for any damage which may result from their failure to do so.
B. 
When leaks occur in the service pipes between the curb stopcock and the premises being served, they must be immediately repaired by the owner of the premises, and if not repaired within 24 hours after notice, the Director of Public Works may cause the same to be shut off until repairs are made.
No continuous flow of water to guard against frost or for any conditions shall be permitted. The owner or occupant of any premises where an unnecessary waste of water occurs shall be notified thereof, in writing, and if such waste shall not be prevented within 24 hours from the time when said notice was given, the water may be cut off from said premises and shall not again be turned on until measures for preventing such waste have been taken.
Property owners and others shall not permit unauthorized persons to draw water from the pipes connected with the City waterworks system, over which they have control and shall be liable for the tax of such unassessed consumer, and may be deprived of water until the abuse is corrected and the charge paid.
The use of street washers or sprinklers is only permitted to the applicant, his agents and employees in front and upon the building, yard, walk and street to the middle of the street for which the permit is granted, unless by special permit, and if the water therefrom is used contrary to these restrictions or is permitted to become a nuisance, the supply of water may be stopped and all advance payments forfeited.
No person shall open any fire hydrant except by the consent of the City Manager, Chief of the Fire Department or director of Public Works or for the extinguishment of dangerous fires, and no person shall deposit any building material or other articles so as to obstruct free access to any fire hydrant or in any manner willfully break or injure such hydrant, nor shall any person in any manner willfully injure the water pipes or curb stop boxes or defile the water.
No person shall injure any reservoir, pumping station, main or hydrant, watering trough or drinking fountain, nor shall any person break or enter the same and draw off or waste or cause to be removed any water therefrom. In all cases where fixtures or property of the Water Department are broken or damaged, the party or parties so offending shall be liable for all damage done.
A. 
Standpipes or sprinkler tanks are only intended and permitted for fire protection, and all such pipes or tanks must be provided with a suitable valve at the bottom of the same, where the water is let in, the same to be sealed by an officer or employee of the Water Department. In case such seal shall be broken for the extinguishment of any fire, the party shall immediately give notice to the Water Department. No seal shall be broken for any other purpose or use, nor any tap introduced into or connection made with said standpipe or tank.
B. 
No standpipe or sprinkler tank will be allowed on premises where the water is not taken for other than fire purposes and in any case, the Director of Public Works reserves the right to refuse any and all applications for the purpose.
No person, persons or corporation shall construct, maintain or extend any water supply to furnish water to themselves, or others, without the written authority of the Director of Public Works.
No person shall turn on or off the water on any main or service pipes, reservoir or hydrant, without permission or order from the Director of Public Works or officials of the Water Department.
The curb stopcocks at the curbline are for the exclusive use of the Water Department and all persons are forbidden to interfere with them.
Whenever the water is shut off from any consumer for any reason and the Director of Public Works shall deem such turning off is not sufficient prohibition against the further use of water from such pipes, he may cause the pipes to be severed from the main.
All premises where water is taken may, at any reasonable time, be inspected by a properly authorized officer of the Department, and full authority is given the Director of Public Works to order such inspection whenever he deems it for the good of the service.
In the event of it becoming necessary to suddenly stop the pumps at the pumping station or to shut off the street mains for the purpose of making repairs, when there is no time to give notice of such shutting off and if the water ceases to flow from this or any other cause, all persons having boilers upon their premises, not supplied from tanks, are cautioned against danger from collapse and owners of hydraulic lifts or of fixtures liable to injury from the sudden withdrawal of water are hereby notified that the City will not be liable and shall not be held responsible for such damage, in all cases where boilers are supplied; suitable check, vacuum, and air valves must be applied to minimize danger from collapsing or water ram.
The City Council reserves the right to attach water meters, together with the necessary connections to any service pipe, whenever it may be deemed advisable to do so. Any meter injured by negligence of the water consumer or by frost shall be repaired at the consumer's expense. The rate to be charged to users with a faulty meter will increase the rate to 50% above the flat rate. If a faulty meter is not repaired after 90 days, this penalty will increase to 100%.
No person shall cause to be removed or in any way interfere with a water meter, which has been set by direction of the Director of Public Works, or with the valves and fitting connected therewith, without a written permit from the Water Department.
In making repairs or in constructing new work, the Water Department shall have the right to shut off the water, and keep it shut off as long as may be necessary for making such repairs or extensions, and no deductions will be made or damages allowed for the time the water is so shut off.
The Director of Public Works reserves the right to limit the amount of water furnished any consumer, should circumstances warrant such action, although no limit may have been stated in the application or permit for such use; or said Director of Public Works may entirely cut off the use for any manufacturing purposes or any other use at any time by giving reasonable notice to consumer of such intended action.
