H. Shut-Offs for Extensions and Repairs: The City reserves the right upon reasonable notice, if possible, at any time to shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making extensions or repairs, 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 the danger of collapse. I. Responsible Owner or Applicant: In all cases where water is supplied to several tenants from one connection or tap, the City con- tracts only with the person designated on the application. Failure by said person to comply with the provisions of this Chapter, or with resolutions or regulations enacted or adopted pursuant thereto shall be sufficient cause to disconnect all service until said ordinances, resolutions or regulations are complied with. J. Riqht of Utility to Install Facilities: The City shall have the right at any time, and at any point for good cause, to install or change any water meter, detector check, backflow preventer, and fittings as required by this Ordinance and the customer shall bear all costs for work so performed. Failure to pay for these facilities as set forth in this Ordinance shall relieve the City of any responsibility to provide any service and the service shall be disconnected until full payment of costs, interest and penalties has been made to the City. K. Curb Cocks: These shall be a curb cock or valve in every attachment just inside the curb at a point to be designated by the City. Said curb cock and box will be supplied by the City and shall be for its exclusive use and under its exclusive control. L. Damaqe to Customer's Property: The City will not be responsi- ble for damages to buildings or their contents from any break in a water pipe beyond the street service box. Water customers shall, for their own protection, provide at their own expense another valve at the first suitable point beyond the meter. M. Unused Service Connection: Any service connection which has been installed for a period of ten years or more and has not been activated for ten years shall be considered inactive and obsolete. Any person desiring water service for such premises or any portion thereof formerly supplied by the inactive service shall make application for a new service connection and pay the current charge therefor. N. Meter Box or Hydrant Obstruction: No person shall place trash, dirt, building materials, or other objects or obstructions on or around meter boxes or on, around, or adjacent to City hydrants, and no person shall allow the said meter boxes or hydrants to become obstructed or obscured by vines, trees, shrubs, plants, or in any manner so as to make their location difficult to determine, or so as to interfere with or render difficult free access to, or use of, said meter boxes or fire hydrants. In the event of obstruction or obscuring, notice shall be given by the utility to the property served by such meter, or adjacent to such hydrant; such notice shall contain the requirement that the obstruction be removed within 24 hours. Where a meter box is obstructed or obscured so that it cannot be read, a penalty charge of $2.50 shall be made for returning to read the meter. O. Responsibility of Utility: The utility's responsibility ends at the customer's side of the meter, or, in the case of an unmetered or other special installation, where the City's facilities terminate. SECTION 7411. Fire Hydrants A. Locatioq: Fire hydrants shall be installed in locations specified by the Department. If applicant requests, and the Department approves, a change in the size, type, or location of specified hydrants may be made. The applicant shall pay any additional costs required to comply with said request. -6-
