Every person having service from the Chicago Waterworks System shall, at his own cost and expense, keep in repair all pipes, including private supply pipes or fire hydrants, leading from the shutoff rod box to his building or premises, and prevent all waste of water from such pipes. If any such pipe be permitted to remain out of repair, the commissioner may, after a two-day prior notice in writing, cut off the water from said premises; and whenever the water is so cut off it shall not be permitted to be again turned on until such pipe or pipes have been placed in proper repair. The notice herein provided for may be served by personal service, or by mailing it to the owner or occupant, or person in possession, charge or control of the premises.
(Prior code § 185-4; Amend Coun. J. 3-28-01, p. 55444, § 4; Amend Coun. J. 12-4-02, p. 99026, § 1.12)
No person to whom permission is granted to make a connection with a service or supply pipe shall allow any person to take service from the new service or supply pipe unless a permit for such use has been granted by the department of water management, and in the absence of such permission the new service or supply pipe shall be turned off at the curb stopcock, and such stopcock shall not again be turned on until proper permit shall be in the possession of the person about to perform such turning on.
The fees imposed by this chapter shall not apply to permits issued to the Department of Fleet and Facility Management or its contractors, for work undertaken for public or governmental use.
(Prior code § 185-5; Amend Coun. J. 2-7-07, p. 97533, § 1; Amend Coun. J. 11-16-11, p. 13798, Art. III, § 2; Amend Coun. J. 11-8-12, p. 38872, § 203)
No person, whether owner or occupant, or in possession, charge or control of any building, structure or premises into which water service is introduced or to which water is supplied through the Chicago Waterworks System, shall be allowed to supply other persons or families, or to supply any water from such building or premises to a building, structure or premises other than the one for which such water service is introduced, unless a permit from the commissioner shall first have been secured.
If any person, either as owner or occupant, or in possession, charge or control of any such building, structure or premises, violates any of the provisions of this section, the supply of water to the building, structure or premises of such person shall be shut off and stopped forthwith, and any amount which shall have been paid for water service shall be forfeited to the city. Where the water service shall be cut off for a violation of the provisions of this section, it shall not be turned on again until there shall have been paid to the city such sum of money as the commissioner shall deem properly due for the amount of water furnished or used in violation of the provisions of this section, and until the expense for cutting off the water service on account of such violation shall have been paid.
(Prior code § 185-6; Amend Coun. J. 12-4-02, p. 99026, § 1.12)
