Sec. 1. Application for service; deposits; making connections
and installing meters; temporary
connections.
Whenever any person, owning or leasing property along the
line of any water main, shall desire the introduction of water into
his premises, he shall make written application therefor to the director
of finance on forms prescribed by him and approved by the
city manager, which shall set forth the name of the applicant, the
location and description of the property into which the water is
to be introduced and the purpose for which the water is to be used.
For domestic consumers such application shall be accompanied by
a deposit of three dollars, if the water is furnished within the city
limits and five dollars if the water is furnished outside the city
limits. For commercial consumers the deposit shall be based upon
the estimated consumption but shall not exceed twenty-five dollars.
The city manager shall thereupon cause to be constructed, at the
expense of the city, a service pipe leading from the said water
main to the curb and install a water meter thereon unless the connection
has been previously made. There shall be a charge of ten
dollars payable in advance for all temporary connections. (Code
