A. Pressure Zones: A normal pressure within the range of thirty five (35) to one hundred twenty five (125) pounds can ordinarily be made available in areas contiguous to existing lines and at the pressures indicated for normal operations within established pressure zones. Where applications for service are received which would involve service to elevations either above or below the established elevation, special engineering and economic studies may be required which could result in other equipment requirements to provide such service. All circumstances will be taken into account in determining the feasibility of rendering service and where feasible the extensions will be made subject to the provisions outlined in Section 8-1-16, or subsections F and G of this Section.
B. Stop Valve: The customer shall install a stop and waste cock, or equivalent, on his yard line in order that he can control the water flow in his entire water system. Such valve shall be located in an accessible place for operation by the customer.
C. Service Pipe Provided By City:
1. The City shall furnish at its own expense, for the purpose of connecting its distribution system to the customer's premises, the service pipe from its main to and including the curb stop or water meter at or adjacent to the customer's property line. Maximum length of pipe provided by the City shall not exceed more than one street width of fifty feet (50'), unless property served is considered to be a subdivision as outlined in subsection 8-1-16C of this Chapter, and in that event, all extensions shall be at the cost of the subdivider.
2. A qualified contractor employed by the customer shall perform all necessary trenching, backfilling, tapping, and installation of the pipe, meter and meter box at the customer's expense and under the supervision of the City Engineer. The customer shall be assessed for the repair of the street surface which was disturbed in connection with the water system.
D. Fire Protection Service:
1. The entire cost of an installation required for customer fire protection service, service under Section 8-1-22 of this Chapter, standby service or irrigation service, shall be borne by the customer.
2. The monthly minimum charge shall be required by contract pursuant to subsection 8-1-6B of this Chapter, to cover normal customer accounting costs plus anticipated operating and maintenance cost for all City facilities required plus a reasonable capacity charge for off-site water facilities held in reserve for fire use on demand of the customer.
3. An approved backflow prevention device shall be installed by the customer in his fire line installation.
E. Cross-Connections: No cross-connection with any other source of water shall be made to a customer's piping, which is connected to City lines.
F. Water Pressure:
1. Low: Where the normal water pressure is determined by the customer to be less than his requirements, the customer shall install a booster pump and pressure storage tank, the design for any such installation, including an approved backflow preventer, shall be submitted to the City for approval, prior to any construction.
2. High: Where the normal water pressure is determined by the customer to be greater than his requirements, the customer shall install an approved, adjustable pressure regulating device in his piping system.
G. Compliance With State Plumbing Code: All piping and plumbing installations made by the customer or for which the customer is responsible shall conform with the Plumbing Code of the State and all other applicable codes or regulations. (Ord. 1985-01, 3-5-1985)
