§ 51.086 EXCAVATION PERMIT REQUIRED.
   No permit shall be granted to do waterline work in any street, alley, or public easement until the applicant has first obtained an excavation permit.
(Ord. 4-3, passed 9-8-1992)
§ 51.087 SERVICE LINE EXTENSION OR REPAIR PERMIT REQUIRED.
   (A)   When any water service line or private water system connected with any public water main is leaking, broken, or out of order, on private property (outside of any public right-of-way or easements) the owner, agent, or tenant of such premises shall repair the same at his or her own expense. No person shall construct, re-lay, repair, or extend any water service connection or private water system until the person doing said work has obtained the appropriate water permit for the same.
   (B)   It shall be unlawful for any person to extend any private service line beyond the limits of the building or property for which a permit has been given without obtaining a new permit for the desired extension. The existence of a water permit shall in no way be construed as making permissible any work for which an Excavation Permit may be required by the city.

§ 51.088 RIGHT TO REVOKE PERMISSIONS.
   Permission given to connect to the water main shall be upon the express condition that the Water Superintendent may for good cause revoke the same and the person making such connection, or his or her successor in interest, shall have no right to claim any damage in consequence of such permission being revoked.
(Ord. 4-3, passed 9-8-1992)
§ 51.999 PENALTY.
   (A)   Failure to hook-up to the water system will result in a civil penalty of $100 per day for each day the water is not hooked onto the city system.

There will be separate civil penalties for failing to hook-up to the sewer system and water system.
   (B)   In addition to, or in lieu of the foregoing, the city may bring any appropriate civil action, including, but not limited to, abatement and/or injunction for damages, in which event the city shall be entitled to all costs including attorney fees in the prosecution of such action.
   (C)   In addition to the foregoing, any person violating the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, there shall be subject to the penalties as provided by law.
