In tapping city water mains, a stop box or a cutoff shall in every case be set on the service pipe, the top of which shall be flush with the surface of the ground, and at the outer edge of the street sidewalk in front of the premises being served. Any person removing, destroying or covering over any such stop box shall be subject to a penalty of not less than twenty five dollars ($25.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense plus the city's cost of restoration of the same.

The city billing clerk will maintain the schedule of the water tap fees. (Ord. 3097, 4-8-2015)
