1042.05 SERVICE CONTRACT.
   The rules, regulations and rates named in this chapter shall be considered a part of every contract for water between a consumer and the City. Without further formality, the making of application on the part of any applicant or the use or consumption of water service by present consumers thereof and the furnishing of water service to an applicant or consumer by the City shall constitute a contract between the applicant or consumer and the City, to which contract both parties are bound. If the consumer violates any of the provisions of the contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the City Manager may adopt, the City Manager or his agent may cut off or disconnect the water service from the building or premises or place of such violation and no further connection for water service to such building, premises or place shall again be made, save or except by order of the City Manager or his agent.
   Contracts for water service are not transferable. Any person wishing to change from one location to another shall make a new application and sign a new contract.
(1958 Code § 27.5)
1042.06 SERVICE DEPOSIT.
   An applicant for water who is a tenant or occupant and not the owner of the premises to be served shall be required to accompany his application with a service deposit of not less than five dollars ($5.00), the precise amount to be determined by the City Manager, to insure the payment of water bills and other charges.
(Ord. 358. Passed 1-6-50.)
1042.07 PERMIT FOR CONNECTION.
   If an application for water service is approved by the City Manager or his agent, the City Manager shall issue the applicant a permit in writing for a water service connection.
(Ord. 358. Passed 1-6-50.)
1042.08 PERMIT FOR PLUMBER TO BRING SERVICE FROM STOP BOX TO PREMISES.
   Upon the filing of an application for water service and payment of the tap or connection fee, a permit shall be issued to a duly licensed plumber who is the agent of the applicant to do the necessary work to bring water service from the stop box to be located at or near the property line to and upon the applicant's premises at the cost or expense of the applicant.
   Every plumber to whom a permit is issued shall return the same to the office of the City Manager for the records of the City Inspector. Such permit shall be accurately filled out to include all details and information required.
1042.09 LICENSED PLUMBER REQUIRED TO INSTALL, ALTER OR REPAIR PIPE, PLUMBING OR FIXTURE CONNECTED TO COMMERCIAL MAIN.
   (a)   No person other than a duly licensed plumber shall install, alter or repair any pipe, plumbing or fixture connected to, or tapped from, any commercial main of the City.
   (b)   Subsection (a) hereof shall not apply to an owner of property performing work on such property.
1042.10 TAPPING MAIN GENERALLY; BRINGING WATER FROM MAIN TO STOP BOX.
   In all cases where permits required by this chapter are allowed and issued and the tap fee has been paid, the City Manager shall make or cause to be made the necessary tap or opening in the commercial main of the City. Tapping the main and construction in the street from the commercial main to the stop box shall be done by the City and a licensed plumber, at the expense of the applicant, to bring water service from the stop box to and upon the premises of the applicant. No person except the City Manager or his agent designated for that purpose shall, under any circumstances, tap the commercial mains of the City or insert ferrules therein.
   The City, by the City Manager or his agent, shall, for the tap fee provided for in this chapter, regardless of whether a long or short tap is necessary, tap the commercial main to which the applicant's service pipe will be joined, shall furnish the ferrules or clamps and corporation cocks and put the same in the commercial main and shall furnish and install supply pipe, trenching, labor and all attachments to bring water service from the commercial main in the street to a point at or near the property line where the stop box is placed, if the applicant's property abuts a street where a commercial main is laid. If the applicant's property does not abut a street where a commercial main is laid, the applicant shall, at his own expense, to be paid as and when the Mayor and Council provide by resolution, construct and bring water service from a point at or near the property line on the street where there is a commercial main and where the stop box is placed to his own premises, regardless of the distance from the stop box located as aforesaid.
(Ord. 358. Passed 1-6-50.)
1042.11 TAP-IN CHARGES.
   (a)   Each applicant for water service within the City shall pay, in advance, a tap fee which shall equal the cost of tapping the commercial main, computed on the basis of construction to the center of the street, plus 10%.
      Applicants for water service whose property is situated outside the City shall pay a tap fee and installation fee in such sums as the City Manager, pursuant to resolution of the Mayor and Council, in each case fixes, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the City to furnish water service to nonresidents, unless it is able to do so without curtailing the demands of resident consumers or without overloading its pumps, machinery or other equipment.
   (b)   Moneys received by the City for tap-in charges under this section, unless otherwise provided, shall be credited to the Water Operation and Maintenance Fund to be used for operating, maintaining and expanding water treatment and distribution facilities.
(Ord. 935. Passed 1-22-79; Ord. 1800. Passed 9-25-18.)
