No more than one house or building shall be supplied from one service connection. The Council, or the Building Inspector, when authorized to do so by the Council, may waive this requirement upon a finding that a separate service connection to any house or building is impracticable. Whenever two or more houses or buildings are supplied from one pipe connecting with a service main, each house, building or part thereof separately supplied shall have a separate stop box and a separate meter.
('82 Code, § 3.211)
All water service lines connecting the city water main to the property served, including the portion of the line in the public right-of-way between the main and property served shall be owned by and all expenses of maintaining, repairing or replacing them shall be borne by the owner of the property served.
('82 Code, § 3.212)
The customer, and also the owner, occupant and lessee if not the customer, shall be responsible for repair of any leaks. If any leak is not repaired within the time allowed in the notice after notice to any of them to repair the leak, including notice left at the premises, the Superintendent may shut the water off. When the waste of water is great or damage is likely to occur from the leak, the Superintendent may turn the water off immediately and thereafter give notice to repair as provided herein.
('82 Code, § 3.213)
No person, other than an authorized city employee, shall take water from a fire hydrant, from a city water tank filling station or from any other city facility without first obtaining authority to do so from the Superintendent.
('82 Code, § 3.214) Penalty, see § 10.99
No person shall connect any water pipe of the city water supply system with any pump, well or tank that is connected to any other source of water supply. If any connection exists, the customer, owner or person in charge of the premises shall forthwith sever the connection. When any connection is found, the Superintendent may notify the customer, owner or other person in charge of the premises to sever the connection immediately. If this is not done immediately, the Superintendent may turn off the water supply. All cross connections shall be eliminated before city water service is restored to the premises.
('82 Code, § 3.215) Penalty, see § 10.99
Whenever the Council determines that a shortage of water threatens the city water supply, it may, by resolution, limit the times and hours during which city water may be used for sprinkling, air conditioning, irrigation, car washing and other specified uses. After publication of the resolution, or delivery to the affected premises, or three days after mailing the resolution to the affected customer, no person shall use or permit water to be used in violation of the restrictions imposed in the resolution. Any person who does so may be charged an excess use charge, as the Council may determine by resolution. Continued violation shall be cause for discontinuance of water service in accordance with the procedures specified for discontinuance of service for a leak found upon the customer's premises.
