(C) All applications for the introduction of water service to any premises must be signed by the property owner.
(D) Any change in the identity of the contracting customer (i.e., apartment tenant) at a premises will require a new application for water.
(E) No charge may be made for turning on the water to new customers during regular working hours.
(F) Accepted applications for water to be supplied to any premises shall constitute a right to the customer to take and receive a supply of water for said premises for the purposes specified in the application (i.e., domestic, commercial and industrial), subject only to the fulfillment of the conditions of these rules and regulations by the customer.
(G) Every applicant seeking water service outside the city limits shall provide the legal description of the property to which service is being requested and shall sign a waiver of protest to annexation to the city and shall pay the fee for the recording of such waiver by the County Clerk and Recorder’s office. If such water service requires extension of the presently existing water mains, such provision of service shall be discretionary with the city. The city must provide service to customers outside the city limits if a main is in place and readily available to be tapped for a customer’s use.
