A. 
New connections, as approved by the Department, to the existing water mains shall be performed by the Department and includes tapping, fittings, pipe, labor and related materials. The connection permit fee includes the installation from the main to the curb stop behind the curbline. The applicant is responsible to extend the service from the curb stop onto the property via a licensed plumber. In addition, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to restore the sidewalk area and all areas disturbed by their plumber. The applicant shall pay a connection charge for each connection as stated under these rules and regulations. The new connection and lateral from the main to and including the curb stop and water box shall become the property of the Department and shall be maintained by them.
B. 
The cost of any street openings will be borne by the applicant. Such cost will be determined by the Superintendent of the Water Department.
The Department reserves the right to determine the size and kind of service line from the main to the curb stop, and from the curb stop or meter pit to the property to be serviced. The curb stop and meter box shall be placed inside the curbline. For services larger than two inches in diameter, ductile-cement-lined pipe meeting AWWA Standards for Class 52 water pipe shall be used. The pipe from the curb stop and meter pit to the property shall be laid in a straight line at right angles to the curbline, within the building limits of the structure to be served, and shall have a minimum depth of 42 inches and a maximum depth of 48 inches when final grading of the property has been completed.
No service pipe shall be laid in the same trench with gas pipe, drain sewer pipe, or any other facility of any public service company, nor within three feet of any open excavation, vault, cesspool or septic tank; nor shall the location be in conflict with any sidewalk or driveway. All services shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection dated June 1994, or the latest revision.
All connections, service lines and fixtures furnished by the applicant shall be maintained by the customer in good order, and all valves, meters and appliances furnished and owned by the Department, and on the property of the customer, shall be protected properly and cared for by the customer. All leaks in the service and any other pipe and any fixture in or upon the premises must be immediately repaired by the owner or occupant of the premises. The customer shall be responsible for notifying the Department of the party engaged by said customer to do any maintenance work on the customer's service line, prior to work being commenced, and said party shall not backfill any trench until the work has been inspected and approved by the Department's representative. Any work not acceptable shall be immediately removed and replaced by work that is acceptable.
The Department shall in no event be responsible for maintaining any portion of the service line owned by the customer, or for damage done by water escaping therefrom: or from lines or fixtures on the customer's property; and the customers shall at all times comply with applicable regulations with respect thereto, and make changes therein, required by reason of change or grade, relocation of mains or otherwise.
A. 
Where the renewal of the service line from the main to the curb stop, or meter pit, is found to be necessary, the Department will replace the service in the same location as previously used. If the property owner or customer, for his own convenience, desires the new service line at some other location, and agrees to pay all expenses of such relocation, in excess of the cost of laying the service line in the same location as previously used, and cutting off and disconnecting the old service line, the Department will lay the new service line at the location desired.
B. 
When a customer has applied for the reinstatement of an existing service, it shall be presumed that the piping and fixtures on the applicant's premises are in good condition. The Department will not be liable, in any event, for any accident, breaks or leakage arising in any way in connection with the supply of water or failure to supply same, or the freezing of water pipes or fixtures of the customer, nor any damage to the property which may result from the usage of water supplied to the premises.
A service line from the curb stop, a meter pit, to a property shall not supply more than one property, as generally described and classified below; but any such property, upon proper application of the owner, may be supplied by two or more meters, each of which, for billing purposes, shall be considered as being one customer account, and provided that the supply to each such meter has an individual control at or near the curb, viz:
A. 
A dwelling house; either detached, or one side of a double house, or a house in a row of houses; provided that a garage, a conservatory and similar structures accessory to the life of one family shall be considered as a portion of the dwelling.
