A. Permit Required: When permission is granted by the mayor and town council to any person to put in a private water service, the whole cost of installing the same shall be paid by the persons obtaining such permission. All such water services shall be maintained and kept in good repair by the owners and users thereof, at their own cost and expense. In all cases, a standard valve and other facilities and control equipment, approved by the superintendent of the public works office, shall be required. (1980 Code § 14-164)
B. Failure To Obtain Permit: Should anyone connect to a private pipe without a permit from the public works department, water may be shut off at the main until a permit is taken out and all expense of shutting off and turning on is paid. (1980 Code § 14-165)
C. Private Lines May Be Master Metered: When a private water main supplying more than one house is connected to the town water main, the director of the public works office may require a master meter to be installed near the point where the connection is to be made to the town main. This installation will be at the expense of the owners of the private line according to the regular rates for meter installation. Responsible parties must agree to pay all bills for water service through said meter at regular meter rates. (1980 Code § 14-166)
D. Minimum Charge For Service Connections: The standard minimum charge for each service connection taking off from said private line will be made. (1980 Code § 14-167)
