Each building requiring water service must have a sepa-

Manager.
Where a new main is laid in the street and the customer
is being served from another location, he will be allowed three
months to change and connect his service line to the new main at
his expense in the same manner as for a new service.
No customer will be served unless the main is installed
under City supervision and specifications, and a deed to the main
and an easement for right of way, where necessary, is given to
the City. All expenses incurred in the above installation shall
be paid by the customer.
Before constructing new mains, 50 per cent of the tap
fees for the area to be ultimately served must be paid prior to
the City constructing the new lines. Where extensions are required
across areas that will not be used for residential purposes, the
cost of the extension will be added to the tap -in fee of the area
to be served. Where property is not subdivided, for tap -in fee
purposes, it shall be assumed the land is divided into 50 foot
lots. The mains will at all times be the property of the City.
