within its corporate limits whose premises abut a street or alley in which a commercial main now is or may hereafter be laid. The Municipality may furnish water to persons within its corporate limits whose premises do not abut a street or alley in which a Municipal commercial main is now or may hereafter be laid and may also furnish water to persons whose premises are situated outside the corporate limits of the Municipality, as and when, according to law, the Governing Body may see fit to do so. The Board of Public Works shall have the authority to promulgate such rules and regulations as necessary to furnish water to all such premises and to enforce this Code and other codes as adopted. The rules, regulations, and water rates hereinafter named in this Article, shall be considered a part of every application hereafter made for water service and shall be considered a part of the contract between every consumer now or hereafter served. Without further formality, the making of application on the part of any applicant or the use or consumption of water service by present consumers thereof and the furnishing of water service to said consumer shall constitute a contract between the consumer and the Municipality, to which said contract both parties are bound. If the consumer shall violate any of the provisions of said contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the Board of Public Works may hereafter adopt, the Water Superintendent or his agent, may cut off or disconnect the water service from the building or premise or place of such violation. No further connection for water service to said building, premise, or place shall again be made save or except by order of said Water Superintendent or his agent. ยง3-104 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT; MAIN SIZES. In order to properly provide water and fire protection service to present and future building improvements, a minimum size City Commercial Water Main of six (6) inches inside diameter shall hereinafter be installed. Should a larger size be determined as necessary, by the Board of Public Works, the Utility shall pay the additional material cost difference between the established minimum size requirements and the determined size. A smaller size can be determined to be sufficient, because of a consumer's nature or location, but only upon approval by the Board of Public Works. ยง3-105 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT; CONSUMER'S APPLICATION. Every person or firm desiring a supply of water from the City Waterworks System must make a tapping application therefore to the City Utility Department upon blanks to be furnished for that purpose, which application shall be made through its office. All applications for connections of premises with the commercial mains must be made by the owner of said premises, or his duly authorized agent. No person other than a duly licensed plumber or employee of the Water Department, acting in his employment capacity shall install, alter or repair any pipe, plumbing or fixtures connected to or tapped from any commercial main. If application for water service be approved, the Board of Public Works shall issue the applicant a permit in writing, for water service connection.
