A. Wasting water as a result of leaking pipes and using water for purposes other than what would be normally used to service the property are prohibited. Customers shall repair or stop all water leaks upon discovery or within ninety-six (96) hours of notification by the City. City staff will make a reasonable effort to notify the occupant that a leak exists, as well as the utility account holder on record with the Utility Billing Department. If a water leak is not stopped or repaired within ninety-six (96) hours, the meter will be shut off by the City to prevent wasting of water. The utility account will be assessed water leak disconnection and reconnection fees in accordance with the adopted fee schedule. Customers shall not use a hose that dispenses potable water to wash a motor vehicle except where the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle or device attached to it that causes it to cease dispensing water immediately when not in use. Customers shall not wash down sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, or other paved areas without using a power washer or a hose with a shut-off nozzle. Water shall be collected and prevented from leaving the property and entering the municipal separate storm sewer system. The prohibition on wasting water shall be enforced by the Municipal Services Director or their designee pursuant to Chapter 1.20.

B. No connection will be made to allow supplying water from one (1) property to another property. (Ord. 3029, 6/27/23; Ord. 2737, 11/11/14; Ord. 2329, 6/12/07; Ord. 2207, 5/24/05)
