Sec. 22.1-128. Application, availability, elevation and
location of sewer, water and gas services.

Applications for utility connections shall be made and the
availability of sewer, water and gas determined at the same time
as the application for building permit. The owner or agent shall
immediately designate on the site the location where he desires
these utilities to enter his property. The city will then proceed
with the installation of service line to the property line. It shall be
the responsibility of the owner to keep a record of the location and
elevation of these services at the property line. The building shall
then be set to conform to these elevations. Where connection to a
city sewer is made by the owner on private property, the
installation shall be made in accordance with the sections of this
chapter relative to sewers, bearing in mind that the owner shall
set the elevation of the building to conform thereto.
