Sec. 35-19. Inspection, maintenance and use of pipe lines laid
by property owners.
Before the city furnishes water through pipe lines laid by
property owners, such private lines, including the size, location
and construction, shall be inspected and approved by the
city manager or his authorized representative. Whenever
the city furnishes water through any privately laid pipe lines,
the city shall maintain such lines so long as it furnishes water
through them. In consideration of such maintenance, the city
shall have the right to connect with and furnish water to
such additional consumers through such lines as the city may
determine, without any charge being made by the owners
of the lines to the city or to the owners of any property connected
therewith. (Code 1959, § 35-19.)
