(a) Any property owner, firm, corporation or contractor desiring a new or enhanced service line to the municipal water mains shall make application in person or by agent at the municipal office for such connection and sign a contract for water service. Total charges for such permit, including capacity fees, tap fees, etc., shall be paid at the time of application. The application for a permit shall be reviewed by the Manager and Utilities Director. Notification of approval or disapproval shall be given within seven (7) working days after receipt of the application.
(b) A permit for a water service line to serve a property or premises shall be issued only after a County Health Department plumbing permit has been issued.
(c) Contractors and tradesmen for building construction shall pay a monthly flat rate water charge of fifty dollars ($50.00) per month or fraction of month for each unit of residential construction. Such charge shall begin on the date that water is first turned on at the building site and shall continue until the Village is notified that the final plumbing inspection has been made by the County Health Department and the premises are ready for water meter installation.
(d) No permit shall be issued for a service line to serve any premises unless such premises abut an adequate sized main installed across the entire frontage to be served. A permit for a service line may be refused if, in the judgment of the Village, the water main is of insufficient size to supply the additional water demand and maintain satisfactory service to established consumers.
(e) No person shall make any extensions or alterations for water service to any premises until a written permit from the Manager's office for each separate job is first obtained. (Ord. 06-14. Passed 8-20-14.)
