The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water:
1. All applications for use of water must be made at the office of the Water Commissioners, and state fully the pur- poses for which it is intended to be used. Water will not be introduced into any building or premises except on the written application of the owner thereof, or by a duly authorized agent. The property will in all cases be held responsible for the water rates.
2. All persons taking water must keep their water pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from the frost at their own expense. They will be held liable for all damages resulting from their failure to do so. They shall prevent all unnecessary waste, and water shall not be left running to prevent freezing. The Water Commissioners or their agent may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is any unnecessary waste. They and their agents shall have free access to the premises supplied, to examine the apparatus, and if any fix- tures are found not to be in good order, they shall direct them repaired, and if not repaired within two days the water shall be shut off and not let on again until such repairs are made, and the sum of two dollars paid for shutting off and turning on the water.
3. The occupant of any premises, when unnecessary waste of water occurs, shall be liable to a fine of two dollars for the
128
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
first offence, and four dollars for the second offence during the same year, and shall be notified thereof in writing; and if such waste is not prevented and the fine aforesaid paid within two days from the time when the said notice is given, the water shall be shut off from the premises, and shall not be again let on for the same occupant until the waste be stopped and the fine paid, together with an additional sum of two dollars for shutting off and letting on the water; and in case of a third or subsequent offence the water shall be shut off, and shall not again be let on except by a vote of the Water Commissioners and the payment of such fine, not exceeding ten dollars, as the Water Commissioners may impose.
4. Any person supplied with water shall not allow another to take water from their fixtures without the written permission of the Water Commissioners. If any tenant, having no fix- tures, has any use of such fixtures, full rates will be charged for such use by each tenant.
5. All parties using water in stables, for horses or other animals, will be charged schedule rates for the same, whether it be carried by hand or through hose.
6. All persons using water for building purposes are re- quired to obtain a permit from the Water Commissioners before taking water from any faucet or fixture connected with the water works, and all water takers are warned not to let any party take water from their premises until they show a permit from the Water Commissioners. Any person fur- nishing water in violation of this section will be subject to a fine of not less than five nor more than twenty dollars, and if the same when levied is not paid within three days from the time
129
SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
when the notice thereof is given, the water will be shut off from the premises, and will not be let on again until such fine is paid.
7. All fixtures and water closets and urinals must be of a kind and quality approved by the Water Commissioners.
8. No person shall in any case be allowed to open any fire hydrants except by a written permit from the Water Commis- sioners; but the Engineers of the Fire Department shall in all cases have control of hydrants at fires and for practice.
9. The Commissioners reserve the right to restrict the use of hose or fountain, to shut off the water in all cases when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs, or for viola- tion of any of the regulations, or whenever they deem it ex- pedient.
10. The regular rates for the use of water shall be payable in advance on the first days of January and July of each year, except where water is supplied to manufacturers by special agreement. In all cases of non-payment of the water rates within ten days after the same is due, as well as for any violation of these rules and regulations, the supply will be shut off, and the water will not again be let on except upon the pay- ment of the amount due, and the sum of two dollars for shut- ting off and letting on the water.
11. The Water Commissioners reserve the right to change the water rates at any time, except in case of dwelling houses and established special rates.
12. For business requiring large quantities of water, and all supplies not enumerated in the tariff of rates, special rates will be made.
130
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
13. Parties using water for manufacturing or domestic purposes can erect hydrants on their grounds or standpipes in their building to be used only as a protection against fire without additional charge for water.
14. All service pipes will be put in by the Water Commis- sioners. All applicants for the introduction of service pipes into their premises are required to make written application therefor at the office of the Water Commissioners.
