(A) A person wishing to obtain a new water supply from a city water main must apply to the Director of Public Works or his or her designee for a permit to tap a city main and must pay to the Finance Officer or his or her designee the required deposit and the cost of the labor and materials required for the tap to the extent that the cost exceeds the deposit.
(B) The tap shall be made by the city. The applicant is responsible for furnishing and installing all water supply facilities other than the tap itself. The applicant is further responsible for all excavation necessary, including the cutting, patching or repairing of any surfaced street.
(C) No tap or line may be covered until inspected by the City Superintendent or his or her designee. The pipe, curb stop and curb box utilized must be a type approved by the City Superintendent or his or her designee, and the stop must be placed in a standard and accessible location. If an installation is covered before approval, the person covering shall be liable to the city for the cost of re-excavation.
