All fire service connections between water mains and property lines shall be installed and maintained by the Water Department, at the expense of the owner or occupant of the premises served, and shall be the property of the City. At the time of making application for service, the applicant shall file with the Water Department detailed plans, produced by a registered design professional, showing all piping installed or to be installed for fire protection, all fire gates, automatic sprinklers, and all other outlets, gates, or appurtenances. Each fire service connection shall have a gate valve with an adequate valve box installed between the main and the property line of the premises served. No fire service connection larger than six inches (6") shall be installed without special permission from the Council. Upon receipt of such application and submissions by a registered design professional, the Water Department Head shall determine the cost for the installation of such service, taking into consideration the length and size of pipe, condition of street and sidewalk, all relative to the character of service, and such cost shall be paid by the applicant before such installation is made. No customer receiving metered water service shall use a fire service connection for domestic purposes or any purpose other than for fire protection. If the water Department Head finds a fire connection is being used for any purpose other than for fire protection upon the premises, the owner or occupant shall be notified and if such improper conditions are not corrected within ten (10) days, water service to the entire premises may be terminated until proper adjustments are made. Such shall constitute theft of services. (Ord. 2020-624, 5-13-2020)
