(A) Until a contract for water service has been executed and a meter has been installed, water shall not be turned on at any premises by any person except a Water Utility representative. Water service shall not be turned on unless there is at least one adult person present to see that all water outlets on the premises are closed in order to prevent water damage.
(B) No person except an authorized representative of the Utility, a Fire Department or the Street Department shall open, operate or remove the nozzle cap from any fire hydrant to which water is supplied by the Utility.
(C) When water is required to test plumbing before a water contract has been executed and a meter installed, a Water Utility employee shall be called to make the turn-on and turn-off. Any person except a Water Utility employee who makes such turn-on shall be deemed to have committed an ordinance violation.
