§ 62-25. Tapping.

(a)

Prior to the actual tapping to a city water main, a building permit and a pavement cut permit (if a city street is to be cut) shall be obtained and all fees shall be paid. The city building inspector shall be notified 48 hours in advance of construction. The tap, fittings and service line between the main and the meter must conform to the standards and specifications for the design and construction of public improvements and must be approved by the inspector prior to backfilling.

(b)

Authorization to install any tap or meter may be withheld by the city if the applicant is in violation of any law of the city or in default of any agreement with the city. It shall be unlawful to use, or permit to be used, any water tap installation until the meter has been set or approved by the city. Upon approval, the entire installation, including the water meter, shall become the property of the city.

(c)

No new tap and/or meter shall be permitted for any property, which has delinquent utility fees or charges for any property within the city under common ownership.
