make any connections with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any
public waterline or sewer line or appurtenance thereof without first
obtaining a written permit from the PSA. It shall be unlawful for
any unauthorized person to disconnect a water pipe, move or disturb
a water meter or turn on the water on any service. It shall be unlawful
for any unauthorized person to draw water from any service, fire hydrant,
blowoff, main, valve or any other facility of the County PSA water
system without first arranging with the Director of the PSA for the
same and paying all applicable charges pertaining thereto. This section
shall not apply to the use of water for the legitimate purpose of
