The city shall operate and maintain a domestic water system and shall serve all properties within the city requesting such service.

Extension of the system to serve new customers shall be done at the sole expense of these customers. (Ord. 829 § 2 (part), 1987: Ord. 674 § 3, 1980).
Each separate dwelling, building or structure shall be connected in accordance with the provisions of this chapter before the city will provide water service. (Ord. 674 § 4, 1980).

The responsibility for the maintenance of the water line on the building side of the water meter shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner. No person shall be allowed to dig in any street or alley or to turn on or off any water service without the prior approval of the city engineer.

Such amount, together with a penalty of ten percent thereof, plus interest at the rate of ten percent per year upon the total amount of such cost and penalty, shall be assessed against the property upon which the building or structure is situated and shall become a lien thereon. Such total amount when collected shall be paid into said water and sewer fund. (Ord. 674 § 8, 1980).
