(A) Connection required. Connection to the municipal water supply system is required in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota State Building Code, Chapter 4715, Minnesota Plumbing Code, and the ordinances of the City of Brooklyn Park.
(B) Private well water system repair. At such time as the municipal water supply system becomes available to a property served by a private well water system, and the private system cannot be repaired as provided in §§ 101.01 et seq. of this title, a direct connection must be made to the municipal water supply system in compliance with this chapter, and any private wells taken out of service must be sealed in accordance with state law and §§ 101.01 et seq. of this title.
(C) Separate water service connections required.
(1) All connections must be made in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota State Building Code, Chapter 4715, Minnesota Plumbing Code, and Rule 4715.0310 thereof.
(2) A separate and independently connected water service must be provided for each property and for each unit contained within a structure; i.e., a duplex must have two services from the municipal water supply system main to the building. Exceptions to this provision may be allowed subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
(3) Where one building stands at the rear of another on an interior lot and no separate municipal water service connection can be connected to the rear building through an adjoining alley, court, yard or driveway, the building water service from the front building may be extended to the rear building and the whole considered as one water service connection except for rate purposes.
(4) Connection of more than one property to a water service extension of the municipal water supply system that is intended for a single service connection, is subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Such a connection requires for each property, the installation of separate stop cock, box and cover at the public utility easement, right-of-way, or water service extension from the municipal water supply system main. Such separate stop cock, box and cover, when required, must be accessibly and safely located, and must be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the City Engineer. The stop cock, box and cover must be installed by the owner at the owner's expense, becomes the property of the city, and must be maintained by the city so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
