The water superintendent may allow connections to the city's water system at such time as the property owner or such owner's duly authorized agent complies with all of the following provisions of this section:
A. Application For Water Service: The record owner of any property being served by the city's water system shall appear as the applicant and customer for that water connection, and shall be held responsible to the city for payment of all water service fees and charges incurred by that connection. Any owner desiring water service from the city shall complete and submit an application for water connection in a form provided by the city. The property owner shall be liable for any water fees or service charges incurred by a renter or lessee or other occupant of the owner's premises.
B. Water Connections Nontransferable: Water connections shall not be transferred to a location different from that shown on the application for water service nor from where originally used, nor may a larger water connection be subdivided into several smaller connections.
C. Service Pipe: The property owner or his agents shall install a service pipe to the curb or property boundary line of his or her property, which meets the following requirements:
1. The service pipe is of material and quality specified in the city's construction standards.
2. The service pipe will, when used, be buried at a depth and grade specified in the city's construction standards.
3. The service pipe is not roughed out closer than three feet (3') from the sewer pipe at the foundation of any building and is not laid in the same trench with any sewer line nor is so constructed as to cross the sewer line, and no service pipe is laid in the same trench as a gas or any other pipe, but a separate trench is provided for such service pipe at least three feet (3') horizontally from all other pipelines.
4. The service pipe does not run across property owned in fee by a person other than the property owner who applied for the connection, unless a satisfactory easement is obtained.
5. The service pipe, when connected, will supply water to no more than one building (accessory buildings excluded), except that where permission is obtained by the property owner from the water superintendent, connection of more than one building may be made to such a service pipe, if the property owner applying for the connection is the owner of all buildings connected to said service pipe. For the purpose of payment of fees under this chapter, however, each building which shall receive water service through a common service pipe shall be deemed to receive said water service through a separate service pipe so that a property owner applying for connection shall pay the charges set forth in subsection G of this section for each building which is to receive water service.
D. Illegal Use Of Water Pressure: The water provided through the connection will not be used for the purpose of driving any motor, syphon, turbine, or other wheels, or any hydraulic engines, or elevators, or for driving or propelling machinery of any kind whatsoever, or for any other purpose which the city council by resolution or the water superintendent by regulation shall include herein.
E. Inspection: The service pipe of the building to be connected shall be inspected by an inspector of the city public works department and found to conform to these ordinances and to the Utah plumbing code prior to backfilling. The service pipe and all other underground water lines or connections shall be open and visible to the inspector at the time of inspection.
F. Charges Current: The property owner requesting connection shall have no unpaid delinquent water charge assessed against him or her by Draper City on any property located within the city or connected to the city's water system.
G. Fees Due At Connection: Subject to section 16-1-060 of this chapter, the property owner shall pay at the time he or she files his or her application for connection all of the following applicable fees which are not refundable for any reason:
1. The connection charge specified by the city council by resolution, which may include a capital development fee in addition to the actual cost of connection.
2. The cost of installing a special heavy duty meter box to withstand the pressure of vehicular traffic (if required by regulation of the water superintendent). (1994 Code)
