All stop boxes and cut offs for controlling the supply of water to consumers shall be placed approximately six feet from the property line nearest to the main, where the tap is to be made with the top of the stop box even with the grade of sidewalk or parking. However, this rule shall not apply where the water supply is controlled by a valve in the street, which must be man holed. All such cutoffs are under the control of the city. The user or owner of the premises supplied with water shall be responsible for any damage to the curb box.
