RULES OF WATER WORKS.
All persons making application for water, or to be transferred, and all desiring to pay water rent in the office, will bring the number of their hydrants.
Hydrants are to be kept in good repair by the owner or occupant. In all cases where the person desires a return of rent, the water receipts must be returned to the office.
The following abuses, viz : first, permitting the use of water for any other purpose than that named in the bill; second, sprinkling the streets with hose, except by special permit ; third, permitting leaks or other defects in hydrants or other fixtures ; fourth, permitting water to run unnecessarily, will be followed by the stoppage of water from hydrants and the infliction of the penalties prescribed by ordinance.
No person is permitted, without the consent of the proper officer or person, to turn any private or public stop cock.
Upon a return of a bill to the office for non-payment the water shall be immediately shut off, and where there is a cistern on the premises it shall not be turned on again until the bill due when turned off is paid ; and where there is no cistern the water shall not be turned on again until the amount due up to the time the water was turned off is paid ; and where the ferule is drawn, additional will be charged for resetting the ferule.
In all cases where the water is turned off on account of any abuse or violation of the rules, the owner or occupant of such premises shall pay fifty cents for turning the water off and on.
