(A) Water supply from two sources; private supply substituted for city water. On premises where water is supplied from two sources, the city water being one of the systems, the piping system for city water must be entirely separated from that of the other source. If other than city water is to be furnished on premises previously supplied with city water, the property owner or their plumber must receive approval from the Public Works Department. If approval is given the owner or their plumber they will be responsible for discontinuing city water supply at the corporation stop and disconnect the service pipe.
(B) Disconnection of direct connection of two sources. Premises now having direct connection between the city water supply and another supply shall forthwith disconnect the same.
(C) Requirements of safety devices. Customers are required to equip boilers, heating plants, and refrigeration machinery with safety devices and/or backflow preventers; or provide auxiliary supplies.
(D) Repairs to comply with provisions. Repairs made to existing services shall cause such service to conform in every respect with this chapter.
(E) Accuracy of information not guaranteed. Such information as may be obtained from the records, maps, employees, and the like, of the Public Works Department relative to the location of water mains and service pipes will be furnished to licensed plumbers and interested parties, but the Public Works Department does not guarantee the accuracy of the same.
(F) Restriction of water use. The Public Works Department reserves the right to prohibit the use of water for yard sprinklers, elevators, air conditioners, coolers, and large consumers of water when in the judgment of the Public Works Department it shall be necessary to do so for the protection of public interest.
(G) Provisions considered part of every contract. The foregoing rules and regulations shall be considered a part of the contract for every person who takes water supplied by the City of Columbia Heights, and shall be considered as having expressed their agreement to be bound thereby.
