A.
Extension of street mains within the limits of the corporation may
be initiated by the Board of Trustees or by petition from abutting
property owners. No petition for the extension of a street main will
be granted until the street has been legally opened and the street
surface has been graded to the grade established and the street duly
accepted by the Board of Trustees.
B.
The Board of Trustees reserves the right to refuse all petitions
for extensions of mains where the estimated water rents will not warrant
the cost of installation, but special arrangements may be made in
some instances by the applicant agreeing to pay a fixed sum per annum
until such time as the water rents from such extension amount to the
sums so paid annually.
Property owners desiring to introduce water into premises along
an unopened or ungraded street, highway or alley must make application
to the Board of Trustees. In case a permit is granted, the Board will
furnish a map or other explicit directions in detail in regard to
the point and method of attachment to the street main, the position
and depth which said service must occupy in the street, highway or
alley, all the attachments and appurtenances which are required for
the proper control and management of said service and the material
of which it shall be composed, by and at the expense of the applicant,
by whom all of the above directions must be carefully complied with.
The water mains of the Village are under the exclusive control
of the Board of Trustees. No person other than employees of the Board
shall disturb, tap, change, obstruct access to or interfere with them
in any way.
A.
It is expressly agreed and stipulated that the Board of Trustees
shall have the right at any and all times to shut off the water or
decrease or increase the pressure, without notice, for the purpose
of extending, repairing, cleaning or for any other purpose involving
the health, welfare, safety and police power of the Village.
B.
The Village makes no guaranty concerning the delivery of water and
assumes no responsibility or liability for the disruption of water
service due to any reason, including negligence on the part of the
Village, its agents, servants and employees.
A.
Fire hydrants are provided for the sole purpose of furnishing water
for extinguishing fires and are to be used only by the Fire and Water
Departments of the Village or by such persons as may be specially
authorized by the Board of Trustees.
B.
Any person or persons who shall open or use any fire hydrant for building purposes or street sprinkling or shall permit any plug to be so used by any person in his or their employ for any purpose whatsoever, except in case of fire in the neighborhood, without written permit for that purpose shall pay a fine as provided in § 298-38.

the service.
[Amended 12-14-1982 by L.L. No. 6-1982]
