Pipe materials shall be either copper or plastic conforming to the specifications adopted by the President and Board of Trustees and on file in the Office of the Village Clerk. All fittings and connections shall also comply with these specifications. All service pipes shall be buried at least four and one-half feet (41/2') deep in the ground, and may be in the same trench as sewer pipes if placed on a shelf at least eighteen inches (18") above such sewer pipes.

Such repair shall be initiated by the property owner within twenty four (24) hours after the leak is discovered and completed as soon as possible thereafter. Upon discovery of the leak, the Village shall shut off such service pipe at the shutoff box or disconnect it at the water main. Water shall not again be withdrawn from the Village water system through such service pipe until repairs satisfactory to the Village have been made at the property owner's expense and further that the property owner has complied with all provisions of this chapter relating to deposits, payment of bills and other applicable sections.

E. Excavations: Excavations for installation of water service pipes or repair thereof shall be made in compliance with the provisions of this Code relating to excavations in streets, and any other Village ordinances relating to such excavations.
F. Shutoff Boxes: Shutoff or service boxes shall be placed on every service pipe to each water user, and shall be located between the curb line and the sidewalk where practicable. Such boxes shall be so located that they are easily accessible, and shall be protected from frost.
G. Abandoned Water Service Pipes: No water service pipe shall be abandoned until notice of intent to abandon a water service pipe has been given in writing to the Village. Water service pipes which are to be abandoned shall be disconnected at the Village main within twenty four (24) hours after such pipe has been permanently disconnected from the plumbing supply system of any building. The work shall be done under the supervision of the Village and shall conform to all specifications provided in this Code. All costs of such work shall be paid by the property owner, including, but not limited to, returning the surface above said pipe to its original condition. The owner of any building damaged by fire, decay or any cause to the extent the building is torn down either voluntarily or pursuant to notice issued by the Board of Trustees shall be required upon written notice from the Board of Trustees to disconnect and cap the water service pipe consistent with the requirement set forth above.
