(A) When a fire service connection is installed the valve governing it will be closed and sealed and remain so until a written order is received from the owner of the premises to have the water turned on. After water is turned on the Water Department shall not be held liable for damages of any kind that may occur to the premises serviced by reason of the installation, maintenance, use, fluctuation of pressure or interruption of supply.
(B) In no case shall any connection be made with any sprinkler or fire service without written consent of the Water Department and should it be found that any such unauthorized connection has been made or that water has been used for a sprinkler or fire service for any other purpose than extinguishing a fire, the water service shall be shut off and not turned on again until a sum equivalent to the monthly minimum provided for in resolution fixing rates effective at that time for a similar-sized regular installation is paid covering the entire period during which the service has been installed. A standard meter of the equivalent size of the service pipe shall be installed by the Water Department at the owner's expense at rates provided in § 54.146.
(C) The Water Department reserves the right to install on each fire service connection a bypass meter, that installation to be made at the expense of the owner of the property.
