(a) No owner or occupant of any premises supplied with water from the Water Department will be allowed to supply water to any other person without express written authority from the Department. Each premises must be supplied with independent service pipes from the main. If any such owner or occupant does supply or permit any unauthorized use of the water by the owner or occupant of any other premises he shall be liable to the Department for full additional service.
(b) No service pipes connected with the mains by one ferrule shall be extended into two distinct premises or across lots on adjoining premises unless separate stop cocks are placed on the outside of such premises on the sidewalk opposite thereto, and also an additional main stop opposite the ferrule, satisfactory to the Superintendent of the Department. In case the Department permits two or more consumers to be supplied through one service pipe and either of the parties fails to pay the water rent when due, or if either violates any rule of the Department, the water may be turned off from such premises until the rent is paid and these rules are complied with.
(c) Where two or more premises are supplied with water from the same opening the Water Department shall charge the same rate as if each premises had a separate attachment. Multi- unit dwellings shall be metered for each dwelling unit.
