3. It shall be unlawful for any person to uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public water main line or appurtenance thereof, without first obtaining a written permit to perform said work from the public works superintendent. (Ord. 984, 7-5-1995)

B. Service Line Extension Or Repair Permit:
1. When any water service line or private water system connected with any public water main is leaking, broken or out of order, on private property (outside of any public right of way or easements), the owner, agent, or tenant of such premises shall repair the same at his own expense. No person shall construct, re-lay, repair, or extend any water service connection or private water system until the person doing said work has obtained the appropriate water permit for same.

It shall be unlawful for any person to extend any private service line beyond the limits of the building or property for which a permit has been given without obtaining a new permit for the desired extension.
