(A) HRW shall run a service line from its distribution line to the property line where the distribution line runs immediately adjacent and parallel to the property to be served, and for which a tap-on fee, and system development fee(s) then in effect, will be charged. The tap-on fee is subject to deviate from the set rate due to cost of the service installation.
(B) HRW may install a meter at the property line or, at HRW's option, on the consumer's property or in a location mutually agreed upon.
(C) When two or more meters are to be installed on the same premises for different consumers, they shall be closely grouped and each clearly designated to which consumer it applies.
(D) HRW does not assume the responsibility of inspecting the consumer's piping or apparatus and will not be responsible therefor.
(E) HRW reserves the right to refuse service unless the consumer's lines or piping are installed in such manner as to prevent cross-connections or backflow.
(F) HRW shall not be liable for damage of any kind whatsoever resulting from water or the use of water on the consumer's premises, unless such damage results directly from negligence on the part of HRW. HRW shall not be responsible for any damage done by or resulting from any defect in the piping, fixtures, or appliances on the consumer's premises. HRW shall not be responsible for negligence of third persons or forces beyond the control of HRW resulting in any interruption of service.
(G) Under normal conditions, the consumer will be notified of any anticipated interruption of service.
