(1) The service shall be installed in accordance with instructions from the Division of Water.
(2) Only the premises stipulated in the agreement shall be served.
(c) Temporary water service pipe shall be laid in the public right-of-way whenever possible or in recorded permanent easements only. Water service shall be discontinued whenever the status of permanent easements is changed.
