- The service connection must be in accordance with the provisions
of Division 7.4 of this Code.
- Lawn irrigation, tree planting or other landscaping practices
will not be allowed on an unmetered water service either temporary
or permanent, and shall constitute an illegal use of water and
be subject to the penalties as set forth in SEC. 7.14-1
of this Code.
- The temporary service shall not be connected to finished
piping within a structure except for the purpose of hydrostatic
testing whereupon the bypass mechanism must be removed. Meter
bypasses or jumpers left in place after testing shall constitute
an illegal connection and be subject to the penalties as set
forth in Division 7.14 of this Code.
