(A) The county shall run a service line from its distribution line to the property line where the distribution runs immediately adjacent and parallel to the property to be served, and for which a tap-on fee, fee-in-lieu-of assessment, and acreage charge, if applicable, in effect for each size of meter will be charged.
(B) The county may install a meter at the property line or, at the county’s option, on the consumer’s property or in a location mutually agreed upon.
(C) When two or more meters are to be installed on the same premises for different consumers, they shall be closely grouped and each clearly designated to which consumer it applies.
(D) The county does not assume the responsibility of inspecting the consumer’s piping or apparatus and will not be responsible therefor.
(E) The county reserves the right to refuse service unless the consumer’s lines or piping are installed in such manner as to prevent cross- connections or backflow.
(F) The county shall not be liable for damage of any kind whatsoever resulting from water or the use of water on the consumer’s premises, unless such damage results directly from negligence on the part of the county. The county shall not be responsible for any damage done by, or resulting from, any defect in the piping, fixtures, or appliances on the consumer’s premises. The county shall not be responsible for negligence of third parties.
(G) Under normal conditions, the consumer will be notified of any anticipated interruptions of service.
