13.04.250 Water main extensions--Location, size and ownership.

A. Location. Water main extensions shall be located only on public rights-of-way, easements, or publicly-owned property. Easements secured for main extensions shall be conveyed to the city prior to the time the water from the city system is turned into the main extension. Easements shall be in the form approved by the city.
B. The minimum sized main which shall be installed in the city is six inches. If, upon application for a main extension, the city requires the installation of a main larger than six inches and larger than that determined to be necessary for the applicant’s needs, the additional costs attributable to the main oversizing shall be borne by the city.
C. Ownership. Main extensions shall become the property of the city at the time water from the city water system is turned into the main extension. (Prior code § 3.430--3.450)
