In cases where the applicant requests a main larger than deemed necessary by the Department, the applicant shall pay the entire cost of labor, equipment, material, and overhead. It is understood that all mains installed become at once, and remain, the sole property of the City. Section 7419. General Regulations. In all cases where water is supplied to several tenants from one connection or tap, the City contracts only with the owner of the property or his authorized agents, and on failure to comply with these regulations and pay the rate, the services will be disconnected until regulations are complied with and the rate paid. Consu~ers must prevent all waste of water, and keep their service pipes, fixtures, stop cocks and other apparatus (but not the service put in and owned by the City) in good repair, and free from leakage at their own expense, and they will be liable for all damages which may result from their failure so to do. Water rates will be charged for premises vacated in every instance, until the City shall have been notified in writing of the discontinuance of the use of water, and is requested to turn the water off. Any authorized employee of the Water Division shall be ad- mitted at all reasonable hours, to all parts of the premises supplied with water, to see that the regulations are observed. No one except an authorized employee ~f the Water Division or the Finance Department shall turn ~e water on or off from any building or premises at City curb cock, or connect or dis- connect or in any way tamper with any pipes in the meter boxes or with any other part of the water system of the City. No user of water supplied by the City shall supply water to users on a piece of property held by another owner. All faucets, sprinklers, hose nozzles or other continuous streams must be shut off promptly upon the alarm of fire, or other emergency or major disaster, the water not to be turned on again until the fire is known to be extinguished. The City reserves the right at any time to shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making extensions or re- pairs, or for other purposes, and all persons having boilers within their premises not supplied with tanks or cisterns, but depending upon the pipes of the City to keep them supplied, are hereby cautioned against danger of collapse.
