An application for water service must be completed
prior to the installation of a new water service. Standard application
forms are available at the Water Department office and must be completed
by the property owner.
The Town of Yarmouth Water Department, through
its Board of Water Commissioners, has the exclusive right as to the
location of any and all water services, fire service lines, water
meters or any other attachment to the Town of Yarmouth water distribution
system.
When additional water services are required
or the relocation of an existing service is deemed necessary to meet
changed conditions, all costs will be chargeable to the property owner.
No alterations shall be made to an existing
water service installed by the Water Department except by Water Department
personnel or an authorized agent of the Water Department.
All water service pipes and fixtures that are
connected to the water distribution system shall not, under any circumstances,
be connected with any other source of water supply, pursuant to the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Regulations, Chapter 310, Section 23.00,
and the Massachusetts Fuel Gas and Plumbing Codes, Section 2.14.
A curb stop is installed at the curbline of
each customer's water service for the exclusive use of the Water Department.
Use of the curb stop by other than Water Department personnel or their
authorized representative is strictly prohibited.
Seasonal water services require that the water
service be shut off at the curb stop and the water meter removed by
Water Department personnel only. The seasonal water service rate is
on file at the Town Clerk's office and the Water Department office.
