Ordinance No. 2289 <br /> <br />changes, extensions, or betterments may be made to the distribution system by the city. <br />F. Failure by any person or any consumer to file his or her application containing the <br />information required by this chapter shall constitute a violation of this chapter. No <br />application shall be conclusive as to the matters therein set forth nor shall the filing of any <br />application preclude the city from collecting from the consumer responsible for payment (as <br />provided in this chapter) by appropriate action such sum as is actually due and payable for <br />water service under the provisions of this chapter. Each application shall be subject to <br />verification by the director. Any person who takes possession of and uses water from the <br />water system without having made application for service pursuant to this chapter shall be <br />held liable for the full amount of the service rendered. <br />G. The city may require a written contract with any consumer as a condition precedent to water <br />service in any case where unusual quantities of water or construction of special facilities are <br />or will be required; provided, however, that any such contract shall not modify the rate <br />structure provided in this chapter. <br />H. No rent or other charge shall be paid by the city for any meter or other facilities located on a <br />consumer's premises. <br />I. All service connections, meters, main extensions and installations paid for by applicants, and <br />all other facilities furnished by the department or the city, whether located wholly or partially <br />on public or private property, shall be and remain the property of the city, and the department <br />shall have the right to repair, replace and maintain the same and the right to remove the same <br />upon discontinuance of service. <br />J. The city shall not be responsible for the installation or maintenance of any water lines beyond <br />the end of its service connection or meter. <br />(Prior code § 2-16.05; Ord. 1073 § 1, 1983; Ord. 1175 § 2, 1985; Ord. 2171 § 2, 2017; Ord. 2179 <br />§ 2, 2018) <br />§ 14.04.060. Use of water service. <br />A. The director or other duly authorized agent of the department shall have at all reasonable <br />times the right of ingress to and egress from any consumer's premises for any purpose <br />properly relating to the furnishing of water to the consumer. Any inspection work or <br />recommendation made by the department or its agents in connection with plumbing or <br />appliances or any use of water on the consumer's premises, either as a result of a complaint <br />or otherwise, will be made without charge. No agent or employee of the department or the <br />city shall accept any personal compensation from a consumer or applicant for any services <br />rendered. <br />B. Consumers making any material change in the size, character or extent of the utilizing <br />equipment or operations for which the city is supplying water service shall immediately give <br />the department written notice of the extent and nature of the change and, if necessary, amend <br />their application. <br />C. When a consumer receiving service at the water system main or service connection must by <br />means of a pump of any kind elevate or increase the pressure of the water received, the pump <br />shall not be attached to any pipe directly connected to the main or service pipe. Such <br />pumping or boosting of pressure shall be done from a sump, cistern, or storage tank which <br />may be served by, but not directly connected with, the water system distribution facilities. <br />Page 46 of 638
