(a) Application for water service may be made in writing on a form furnished by the Water Utility. The application will contain the legal description of the property to be served, name of the owner, the exact use to be made of the service, and the size of the service lateral and meter desired. (Note particularly any special refrigeration, fire protection, or water-consuming air conditioning equipment).
(b) Service will be furnished only if:
(1) Premises have a frontage on a properly platted street or public strip in which a cast iron or other long-life water main has been laid, or where property owner has agreed to and complied with the provisions of the Water Utility's filed main extension rule.
(2) Property owner has installed or agrees to install a service lateral from the curb stop to the point of use that is not less than six (6) feet below the surface of an established or proposed grade, and meets the Water Utility's specifications, and
(3) Premises have adequate piping beyond metering point.
(c) The owner of a multi-unit dwelling has the option of being served by individual metered water service to each unit. The owner, by selecting this option, is required to provide interior plumbing and meter settings to enable individual metered service to each unit and individual disconnection without affecting service to the other units. Each meter and meter connection will be treated as a separate Water Utility account for the purpose of the filed rules and regulations.
(d) No division of the water service lateral to any lot or parcel of land shall be made for the extension and independent metering of the supply to an adjoining lot or parcel of land. No division of a water service lateral shall be made at the curb for separate supplies for two
(2) or more separate premises having frontage on any street or public service strip, whether owned by the same or different parties. Duplexes may be served from one lateral, provided that individual metered service and disconnection is provided, and it is permitted by local ordinance.
(e) Buildings used in the same business, located on the same parcel, and served by a single lateral may have the customer's water supply piping installed to a central point so that the volume can be metered in one (1) place.
(f) The Water Utility may withhold approval of any application wherein full information of the purpose of such supply is not clearly indicated and set forth by the applicant property owner.
