(A) All persons within the city, whose property abuts a water main that is now or may be laid hereafter shall be required to connect to the municipal water system upon notice by the City Council. Where a parcel of property within the city is now connected to the municipal water system or where the municipal water system is now available or may be hereafter, no owner or occupant of the said property or any other person shall construct, connect, or use any private water supply or well on said property, except for such uses determined permittable by the City Council, in accordance with § 51.19.
(B) Every person desiring a supply of water, or required to connect, shall make application therefor to the Water Commissioner. The Commissioner shall require a service deposit in an amount as may be set by resolution of the Council. Water may not be supplied to any house or private service pipe except upon the written order of the Water Commissioner. The Department shall not supply water to any person outside the corporate limits without special permission from the Council, which may require that the entire cost of laying mains, supply pipe and service pipe be paid by the consumer. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the city to provide water service to nonresidents.
