90.14 CURB STOP SHUTOFF VALVE.

There shall be installed within the public right-of-way, or within an easement granted to the City, a main curb stop shutoff valve on the water service pipe of a pattern approved by the Administrator. The curb stop shutoff valve shall be constructed to be visible and even with the pavement or ground.

(Ord. 1719 – Apr. 12 Supp.)

90.15 INTERIOR VALVE.

There shall be installed a shutoff valve on every service pipe inside the building as close to the entrance of the pipe within the building as possible and so located that the water can be shut off conveniently ahead of the meter installation. Where one service pipe supplies more than one customer within the building, there shall be separate valves for each such customer so that service may be shut off for one without interfering with service to the others.

(Ord. 1719 – Apr. 12 Supp.)

90.16 INSPECTION AND APPROVAL.

All water service pipes and their connections to the water system must be inspected and approved in writing by the code enforcement officer before they are covered, and the code enforcement officer shall keep a record of such approvals. If the code enforcement officer refuses to approve the work, the plumber or property owner must proceed immediately to correct the work. Every person who uses or intends to use the municipal water system shall permit the code enforcement officer to enter the premises to inspect or make necessary alterations or repairs at all reasonable hours and on proof of authority.

90.17 COMPLETION BY THE CITY.

Should any excavation be left open or only partly refilled for twenty-four (24) hours after the water service pipe is installed and connected with the water system, or should the work be improperly done, the City shall have the right to finish or correct the work, and the Council shall assess the costs to the property owner or the plumber. If the plumber is assessed, the plumber must pay the costs before receiving another permit. If the property owner is assessed, such assessment may be collected with and in the same manner as general property taxes.

(Code of Iowa, Sec. 364.12[3a & h])

90.18 SHUTTING OFF WATER SUPPLY.

The Administrator may shut off the supply of water to any customer because of any violation of the regulations contained in these Water chapters. The supply shall not be turned on again until all violations have been corrected and the Administrator has ordered the water to be turned on.
