(A) (1) Water shall be supplied to any premise where service is available within the city after the approval of the Administrator or the Director of Public Works.

The above named owner hereby requests water service from the city and agrees:
1. To keep the meter unobstructed from sight for purposes of reading, repair or maintenance or examination.

3. To keep all waterworks on my premise in repair such that water is economically dispensed and not wasted.
4. That I will hold the city harmless from any and all claims for damages due to leaks, insufficient supply, quality or pressure.
5. That I will allow authorized agents of the city access at any reasonable hour of the day to all areas of any building or premise supplied with city water to read or repair meters or remote reading devices or appurtenances.
6. I acknowledge that the city is not responsible for the thawing, or cost thereof, of frozen water services or appurtenances thereto.
Signature of Owner
(B) Any application for connection may be denied where it is determined by the approving city authorities that the connection may cause harm to the overall waterworks system or threaten the general welfare of other users, or for noncompliance with any state, federal or local authority regulations governing the connection. Nothing contained in this or any other section of this chapter shall be construed to mean that the city must extend water mains to serve a premise if no service is available.
