(A) Installation procedure. The municipality shall be responsible for installation of all water mains, supply lines, corporate cocks and curb cocks installed up to or near the lot line and the actual tapping of the water main. The customer shall then be responsible for installation of the service line from the lot line to the point of dispersement. In making excavations in streets, alleys or sidewalks for the purpose of installing pipe, or making repairs, the paving, stones and earth must be removed and deposited in a manner that will occasion the least inconvenience to the public and provide for adequate drainage. No person shall leave an excavation made in the street, alley or sidewalk open at any time without a barricade, and during the night, warning lights. After service pipes are laid, the streets, alleys and sidewalks shall be restored to good condition. If the excavation in any street, alley or sidewalk is left open or unfinished for a period of 24 hours or more, the Water Commissioner shall have the duty to finish or correct the work, and all expenses so incurred shall be charged to the consumer. All installation shall be done under the supervision and strictly in accordance with the rules, regulations and specifications prescribed for such installation by the Water Commissioner; provided, that said rules, regulations and specifications have been reviewed and approved by the governing body.
(Prior Code, § 3-106)
(B) Installation expense. The expense of providing water service to the lot line shall be paid by the customer in an amount equal to the cost of material including corporate cock, curb cock, pipe and the expense of installation. The consumer shall then be required to pay the expense of furnishing and installing pipe, trenching and the necessary labor to bring water service from said lot line to the place of dispersement.
