(A) Whenever any permit for a connection with sewer and water mains of the village is issued hereunder, only a contractor who is a licensed plumber and has on file in the office of the Village Clerk a properly executed bond shall tap the main of the system where such connection is to be made and shall insert the corporation stop. Such contractor shall be required to notify the village so the village may supervise and inspect such tap. No connection with any water main of the village shall be less than one inch.
(B) All corporation stops, goosenecks, curb stops, buffalo boxes and meter boxes installed in connection with the waterworks system of the village must be purchased through the village or approved by the village prior to installation.
(C) No person shall in any manner obstruct or cause to be obstructed the free access of any duly authorized officer or employee of the village to any curb stop, water meter, shut-off box or connection with any water main by means of any coal, lumber, brick, building material or by any other means or device whatsoever or to use or to prevent free access thereto by such officer or employee.
(D) All new service connections to the water lines of the village shall be installed at the expense of the applicant or user.
(E) All repairs on water services, building drains and building sewers of buildings from the mains to the premises to be served, shall be made by and at the expense of the owners of the premises served. The village may, in case of emergency, repair any water services, building drains, or building sewers, and if the work is done, the cost of the repair work shall be repaid to the village by the owner of the premises served. In instances where the village performs such emergency repair services, the owner consents, by virtue of the village performing the work, to the entry of a lien against the property for the cost of such repair services if no repayment to the village by the owner is made within 30 days of completion of the repair services.
(F) All connections made to the waterworks and sewerage system shall be made under the supervision of the Superintendent thereof, and no connection shall be covered until the work has been inspected by him.
(G) No connection to either the village water or sewer mains shall be allowed to service any property outside the corporate limits of the village unless the connection is necessary to protect the health and safety of persons lawfully on the property. In the event that a connection to either the village water or sewer mains is necessary to protect the health and safety of persons lawfully upon the property, the connection(s) shall be allowed. However, the owner(s) shall have the obligation to file with the Village Clerk, within 30 days of the date of the allowed connection, an appropriate petition pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article 7 of the Municipal Code requesting that the concerned property be annexed to the village.
