§ 110-30. Classes of water service available.  


Latest version.
  • The county renders water service of four general classes:

    (1)

    Domestic water service. This service covers the normal use of water in faucets, sinks, baths, urinals, toilets, water heaters, boilers, refrigerators and other similar fixtures or apparatuses in residences, apartments, hotels, stores, offices and industrial buildings.

    (2)

    Water service for fire protection purposes. This service is intended to provide an emergency supply of water exclusively for fire protection purposes, and the portion of the customer's installation to which this service is rendered must be in a unit entirely separate and apart from the customer's installation for domestic water service. No disconnection of fire lines is permissible unless the customer involved can provide proof of demolition of the existing structure or can provide a letter from the appropriate fire department authorizing such disconnection of service.

    (3)

    Shortterm (temporary) water service. This service is available for short periods of time upon application only, for street, sewer and similar construction, circuses, fairs, exhibitions, displays, lunchcarts, camps, ships and boats, etc.

    (4)

    Other service. This service is available where separate metering is required because the permanently designated usage will not be incorporated in sanitary sewage flow for billing purposes.
