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.
