(A) A new service line on private property serving a single residence must be a minimum of 3/4 inch in diameter, the pipe material must be as specified in the standard specifications of the town and the construction cost thereof shall be borne by the customer. Charges for installing the service line within the public right-of-way shall also be borne by the customer. Upon approval of the user's choice of construction contractor by the town, the user may arrange for the construction of the service line within the public right-of-way.
(B) Connections within the public right-of-way must be adequately sized and cannot be made unless approved by the town.
(C) Each service line extending from the water main to the meter location shall be installed perpendicular to the water main. (Service lines must not be placed under driveways or other large paved areas to prevent freezing.) For service lines three inches and larger, a valve shall be installed immediately adjacent to the main. A hot tap shall be used for all taps larger than two inches in diameter.
(D) The town reserves the right to locate the curb stop:
(1) Between the curb and the sidewalk;
(2) On the customer's side of the meter pit; or
(3) On the property line; whichever, in the judgment of the town, will provide the most protection.
(E) The customer shall, at his own expense, install and maintain the service pipe on private property beginning at the curb stop or meter pit.
(F) Any person responsible for disturbing or damaging water services or valve boxes, once the services have been properly installed, is responsible for the cost of repairs.
