The portion of all service connections provided by the consumer for private water mains laid as permitted by this chapter shall, before water is turned on thereto, conform in all respects with the following requirements:
The pipes shall be so located and equipped that each supply to a separate building or premises shall be controlled by separate stop-and-waste cock of approved type and construction satisfactory to the Public Works Director, which stop shall be properly protected against frost, have extension handle if necessary, and be so placed as to completely drain all pipes and fixtures served thereby; or if sags or depressions necessarily occur in such pipes, they shall each be provided with an additional stop-and-waste cock or other suitable means for properly draining each and every one of them. Where no fixture exists between the property line and the basement or cellar of a building, the stop-and- waste cock may be placed within such basement or cellar, provided such basement or cellar is not less than six feet (6') in clear height, and is provided with adequate stairways or other suitable means of ready access thereto; and provided further, that where such basement or cellar is enclosed only with wooden walls, the said stop-and-waste cock shall be placed at least twelve inches (12") below the surface or floor thereof, and provided with an extension handle, and be properly protected against frost. Stop-and-waste cocks on premises fronting on ungraded streets shall be placed at least six feet (6') inside the property line of said premises. Connection between the privately owned lines or service connections shall in all cases be made with a suitable union. Every existing service connection or branch service not already equipped as required by this Section shall forthwith be made to so conform at the expense of the owner. (Ord. 632, 7-28-93)
