(A) (1) Applications for such permit shall be in the form as the City Manager may prescribe, shall specify the location where the tap, connection, or use is proposed to be made, shall specify the purpose of the tap, connection, or use, shall specify the period of time during which the tap, connection, or use is to be maintained or made, which period of time shall in no event exceed four weeks, (except as described below), shall be accompanied by bond of $100, and fees as follows: first week, equal to one hour in inspection time at prevailing rates; second, third, and fourth week, equal to 1/2-hour inspection time at prevailing rate, as further consideration for the issuance of such permit.
(2) The application shall contain an indemnity agreement by the applicant agreeing to indemnify and save harmless the city from any and all claims for damages or injuries to persons or property including fire hydrants or other public property as well as private property arising out of such private use of the public water supply.
(3) If extenuating circumstances occur, the City Manager may, upon request of the applicant, extend the permit time not to exceed four weeks after proper inspection fees are paid.
(4) The application shall be signed by the applicant or by a person authorized to sign such application.
(5) Upon the expiration of the permit period or upon the surrender of the permit prior to the expiration of the permit period, the bond of the permit may be refunded to the applicant upon the recommendation of the Chief of the Fire Department or his authorized representative based upon a finding by that official that the source of the water supply has been left in the same condition as existed prior to such private use. If the bond is not applied for within one year after date of application, the $25 bond will be surrendered.
(6) It shall be the duty of the applicant to notify the official prior to making any tap or connection of any defect in the source of supply. In the absence of such notification it shall be presumed that there was no such defect. If, upon final inspection after notification by applicant that permit is to be terminated, the Inspector determines that repairs are needed, the applicant will be given verbal or written notice and must have repairs made within 48 hours. Any extra inspections shall be charged against the bond supplied by the applicant.
(B) In the event the applicant does not repair the hydrant as ordered, the city may effect repairs and charge work to the bond at prevailing rates of labor and material and equipment. If the bond is not sufficient to cover the cost of repairs, the applicant will be billed the total amounts. Failure to pay within 30 days may result in enforcement of the penalty clause and refusal of the city to issue any new permits. In no event shall the amount so refunded exceed the sum of the bond.
