Before any connection is made or any work performed, whether upon old or new connections, or any excavation or proceeding therefor is commenced, a permit shall be obtained from the Building Department, upon payment of a water tap permit fee in the amount set forth in this section. The Department shall immediately furnish a copy of such permit to the Superintendent of Public Works. The installation of such connection shall include tapping the main, installing the corporation cock, furnishing and laying the service pipe to the property line and installing a stopcock, shutoff box and related necessary items. The charge for such installation shall be based upon the City’s actual cost of labor and material, and the bill for the same shall be issued by the Water Department. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued and water service shall not be turned on until payment of the installation charge is received by the City Treasurer. The City Treasurer shall forward copies of the paid receipt to the Building Department and the Water Department.
Fees and deposit amounts shall be set by Council on the Fee Schedule. Before a water tap can be started, a deposit shall be made to cover the cost of the installation. A receipt for such deposit must be presented to the Water Department field crew before a water tap can be started.
