(A) It shall be unlawful for any person by himself or herself, family, servants or agents to utilize the town water system without paying therefor, as herein provided or, without authority, to open any fire hydrant, stopcock, valve or other fixtures attached to the system of water supply unless it is done pursuant to proper application, agreement or resolution. It shall be unlawful to injure, deface or impair any part or appurtenance of the water or sewer system, or to cast anything into any reservoir or tank belonging to the water system.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-6)
(B) (1) Turning on after being turned off prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person, after the water has been turned off from the premises for non-payment of water charges or other violation of the ordinances, rules, regulations or resolutions pertaining to the water supply, to turn on or allow the water to be turned on or used without authority from the Superintendent of Water or Town Clerk.
(2) Separate connections. It shall be unlawful for two or more families or service users to be supplied from the same service pipe, connection or water meter unless special permission for such combination usage has been granted by the Town Council and the premises served are owned by the same owner. In all such cases, a failure on the part of any one of the users to comply with this division (B)(2) shall warrant a withholding of a supply of water through the service connections until compliance or payment has been made, and in any event, the property owner shall be primarily liable to the town for all water services utilized on all such premises. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the power of the town to require separate pipes, connections or meters at a subsequent time.
(3) Unauthorized users. It shall be unlawful for any water service user to permit any person from other premises or any unauthorized person to use or obtain water services regularly from his or her premises or water facilities, either outside or inside his or her premises.
(4) Adjoining premises. No consumer shall be permitted to conduct water pipes across lots or buildings to adjoining premises without permission from the Superintendent of Water and subject to such requirements relating to controls as may be imposed by him or her.
(5) Visitors. Individuals visiting the premises of an authorized user in a recreational vehicle, not including a mobile home, and continuing to live therein during the period of visitation may receive water service from the service pipes or facilities of the host during the visitation period which shall not exceed two months. Continued use thereafter shall be deemed unauthorized and violative of the provisions of this chapter relating to separate connections and unauthorized use.
