A.    No new water connection service shall be established in the city without first obtaining a water connection permit from the building department on a form approved by the department of public works. A set of plans indicating the type and location of the proposed water connection shall be submitted to the building department for the department of public works approval. A fee for such permit shall be established by resolution of the city council. All new water services or connections shall be inspected and approved by either the building department or the department of public works before such new water services or connections are completed. The building department shall notify the finance director of the date a property is provided with water services.

    B.    Water services will be installed in size and at the location desired by the applicant where such requests are adjudged by the department of public works or the city council to be reasonable.

Service installations will be made only to property abutting on public streets or to such distribution mains as may be constructed in alleys or rights of way at the convenience of the department of public works. Services installed in new subdivisions prior to the construction of streets or in advance of street improvements must be accepted by the applicant in the installed location. New service connections may be constructed by the city at its option, but at the expense and sole responsibility of the property owner.

    C.    Title to all equipment and materials furnished shall remain for all time within the city.

    D.    Services shall be charged at actual cost to the city, plus thirty percent of the labor for supervision; the charge for same shall be due and payable as soon as the work is completed. (Prior code § 23-9)
