plicants wh'o are owners of a new subdivision or tract of land, and who desire water service and ~ire protection therein, where there are no water mains or fire hydrants in the street in front of such subdivision or tract of land, may make application to have water mains and fire hy- drants laid in same. Such mains and fire hydrants shall be of such size and kind as the Superintendent of the Water Department shall determine will properly supply said tract, having due regard to the requirements of adjacent lands, and the growth of the City. The applicants shall be required to pay cash in advance to the Water Department for the total estimated cost of such mains, and for such fire hydrants, valves and gate boxes as may be required by the proper city authority, such cost to be determined by the Superintendent of the Water Department, who shall there- upon install such mains, fire hydrants an~ gate boxes, provided, however, that said applicant or applicants have complied with all other require- ments of the said Wster Department. It is understood that all mains installed become at once, and re- main the sole property of the City of Santa Aha. If, upon completion of the installation of said water mains, fire hydrants, valves and gate boxes, the actual cost of installation is found to be materially more than said estimate, the said applicant shall pay to the Water Dep~rtment the difference between the estimate and the actual cost, before the water is turned into said mains. If the actual cost is materially less than the estimate the Water Department shall refund to the applicant the difference between the estimate and the actual cost. Nore than one applicant may join in an application, and the water mains, fire hydrants, valves and gate boxes will be extended in a similar manner as above. SECTION 16: GENERAL REGUL~TIONS. In all cases where water is sup- plied 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.
