A. Requirements For Service Pipes: All service and other pipes used underground shall be of ductile iron, cast iron or PVC pipe, laid not less than five feet (5') below the surface of the ground and of sufficient strength to stand the water pressure. All work upon the alterations or extensions of water pipes shall be approved by the superintendent. (1980 Code § 14-112)
B. Permit Required For Service Pipes: No connection of service pipes shall be made without first obtaining a permit therefor from the department of public works, and no other extensions shall be made to another water taker from such pipe, either within the town limits or where water service is extended by agreement. (1980 Code § 14-113)
C. Right Angle Direct Connection Required: No consumer shall be permitted to conduct water pipes across lots or buildings to adjoining premises, and each structure abutting on a town main must be supplied through its own separate pipe running at right angles to the main. (1980 Code § 14-114)
D. Expense Of Extending Service Pipe Responsibility Of Applicant: Where the town mains do not extend to the premises to be served, a permit may be issued by the superintendent of the public works department when, in his opinion, it is impractical to extend a standard water main, provided the applicant at his own expense extends a service pipe to the point where the town main is to be tapped. (1980 Code § 14-115)
