If proprietors of lumber yards, manufactories, halls, stores, elevators, warehouses, hotels, or public buildings, regular consumers of water from the water system, wish to lay large pipes with hydrants and hose couplings to be used only in case of fire, they will be permitted to connect with street mains at their own expense upon application to the Council and Public Works Director, and under his or her directions, and will be allowed the use of water for fire purposes only, free of charge.
(Prior Code, § 51.011)
