(A) Every person, firm or corporation shall make application to the City Clerk, furnishing required plans and specification, and obtain a permit from said City Clerk before installing, extending or altering any gas piping, equipment or appliance for the conveyance or use of natural or artificial gas on a consumer’s premises from the outlet of the utility’s gas meter. Said permit form shall be provided by the City Clerk. In the absence or inability to act of said City Clerk, the Mayor shall designate some other fit and proper person to perform said duties and shall notify the utility thereof.
(B) The gas utility or any employee or agent thereof, or any other person, must first obtain the consent of the said City Clerk or such other person designated by the Mayor as hereinbefore provided, to “turn on” gas at the meter into any new system of gas piping, or into any old system of gas piping which has been extended or altered on a consumer’s premises beyond the utility’s gas meter. The utility shall, upon demand of the City Clerk or other person designated, turn gas on at any time for the purpose of inspection and test.
(C) It shall be unlawful for any person, except an agent of the gas utility, to “turn on” gas at the meter into any new system of gas piping or into any old system of gas piping after it has been “turned off” for any reason.
