§ 51.022  SERVICE PROVISIONS.
   (A)   Until a contract and backflow device for water service has been executed and a meter has been installed, water shall not be turned on at any premises by anyone but a town water employee or authorized representative. No person except an authorized employee of the Town Water Department, Fire Department, or any other person authorized by the town shall open, operate or remove the nozzle cap from any hydrant to which water is supplied by the town. When water is required by a plumbing contractor to test plumbing before a water contract has been executed and a meter and backflow device installed, a permit shall be obtained by the plumbing contractor. It is a violation of both the town's rules and regulations and the municipal code for anyone except a Water Department employee or authorized representative to make the turn-on.
   (B)   In order to determine that no open spigot or fault exists in the plumbing, a representative of the builder must be on hand at the site of the building before water will be turned on by town personnel. When additional visits must be made to turn on the service, an additional charge will be made.
   (C)   When water service is to be transferred and meter has been left in for the convenience of the town with the service shut off at the valve ahead of the meter, the valve shall be sealed and only an employee of the Town Water Department is authorized to break the seal and provide service.
   (D)   The customer must notify the town when the billing is to be transferred to a new customer, otherwise the original customer will be billed until the record of transfer is made available to the town.
