When new water service pipes are installed on any premises, the curb cocks shall be left closed and will thereafter be opened by the department only upon request of the owner, which request must be in writing if the department so requires. The holder of a permit to use water for building purposes or other such work or the agents of such permit holder, shall not open, close or otherwise interfere with the curb cocks.
