(a) The City may either make the connection between the existing water system of the City and the system installed by the private contractor/customer or may elect to have the developer/contractor perform the work under inspection by the Public Works Department. Such connections shall not be deemed as a permanent service connection until the water system constructed by the private contractor has been accepted by the City, all service charges have been paid, and the system has been offered for dedication to the City.
(b) The City shall operate all valves, remove the plugs from existing fittings and install the valves on fittings furnished by the private contractor between the existing system of the City and the system installed by the private contractor. The charges for such service with the exception of operating valves shall be based on cost, plus an amount set by ordinance for overhead. The applicant shall furnish all materials, excavate and backfill the pit, and perform all resurfacing and other work necessary to produce a finished result.
