(A) Whenever the city shall determine that it is feasible to provide water service to a customer, the city shall install, maintain, and operate a main distribution pipeline or lines from the system's source of water supply and shall further install and maintain, at the city's expense, such portions of the necessary water service lines as may be needed to bring water from a water main to the lot or easement line of a customer; however, if the necessary water service line from the water main to the water meter of a customer exceeds 75 feet, as determined by the manager, within guidelines fixed by the city, the customer is required to pay 100% of the cost of such service line. The expense borne by the city in any event shall include the necessary tap, fittings, and shut-off valve, which items shall belong to the city. Each customer shall install and maintain, at his expense, that portion of the service line from said lot or easement line to his premises, including a stop and waste cock at the end of the house side of his service, which items shall belong to the customer. The minimum earth cover of the customer's service shall be 30 inches. The manager shall determine the size and kind to be installed.
(B) No sewer taps (breaking or entering into sewer lines of the city) shall be made by any person, firm, or corporation except the city. The city will, upon application to the city and payment of any tapping or connection fee, as may be prescribed by the city, tap the city sewer and run a lateral to the property line of any applicant where sewers are available, and any and all installations or attachments thereto shall be made by the applicant under the directions and supervision of the city, provided that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the city to furnish a sewer connection or sewer services to any premises where a city sewer is not available at the time that the application is made.
