§ 52.022. TURNING WATER ON AND OFF.

Consumers and plumbers are prohibited from turning the water into any service pipe except on the order of the PW/ES Director; provided, that this rule shall not be construed to prevent licensed plumbers from admitting water to test pipes, but for that purpose only. The PW/ES Director shall not order water to be supplied into any house or service pipe, whether new or existing construction, until the water system to be served has been inspected and approved by the City Community Development Director or that official’s designated representative. Whenever a consumer of City water requests that the water lines be turned on or turned off, the water shall be turned off from the building or place of such violation or request and shall not be turned on again except by order of the PW/ES Director and upon payment of a sum as set by resolution for the turning on or turning off of the water as such is applicable and upon such other terms as the PW/ES Director may reasonably prescribe. Failure to pay the same shall result, at the discretion of the City, in the shutting off of the water on any property or building for nonpayment of these fees.
