A. No person may connect to the City water system without permission from the City or turn on a connection that has been shut off by the City.

B. All developed properties must connect to the City water system or a franchised water system if water service is available from the City or franchised system. Water service is considered available if a water main from which service may be taken is within 300 feet of the property. Any developed property within 500 feet of a fire hydrant must either connect to the City water system or a franchised water system or pay a fire flow access fee in an amount set by Council resolution. If a separate fire flow access fee is not established, the fire flow access fee shall be the lowest minimum base charge for service.

C. The City Manager may adopt regulations governing connections to the City water system. [Ord. NS-2182, 2012]
