(a) The public water supply system of the Village of Granville, including all wells, pumping and treatment equipment, storage tanks, water mains, valves, fire hydrants, meters and services, is owned and operated by the Village of Granville under the control of the Village Manager and his duly authorized agents or Village employees. Such control shall include all piping from the municipal mains to the curb box or to where the municipal water is finally discharged freely at atmospheric pressure.
(b) No person, firm or corporation shall make or maintain a physical connection between the Village's public water system and any other sources of water or other liquid. No spigot or outlet connected to the Village's water system shall also be physically connected to a sewer or drain, nor shall such spigot or outlet be below a free overflow or submerged. An air gap separation must be present. If such a connection is made, it shall be considered as a cross connection, and if not removed, it shall be just reason for discontinuing service.
(c) The Village does not guarantee consumers full volume, fixed pressure, fixed chemical quality or an effective continuous supply of water, such matters being subject to the varying conditions that may affect the operation and maintenance of the mains, services, pumping stations, reservoirs and other parts of the water system. No claim shall be considered for damages of any nature alleged to have arisen from changes in pressure, volume, chemical quality or any other fluctuations or interruption of water service. The Village, however, in case of accident or necessity, which requires the interruption of the supply, endeavors to notify its customers in advance. (Ord. 06-14. Passed 8-20-14.)
