Upon advance payment of the charges and fees herein prescribed, the City water department shall install a separate service from the City water main to the property or curbline of each house or other premises to be supplied with water. Each and every premises, business, or place of business shall be on a separate service and meter. Where water is now supplied through one service to several houses, stores, persons, or businesses, the City water department may, at its discretion, either decline to furnish water until separate services are provided or may continue the supply on the condition that water may be shut off from all in case of nonpayment of charges or the violation of the rules and regulations of the City water or sewer departments by any one thereof. No new joint services shall be allowed without specific written permission of the City Council. (Ord. 4-1982 § 7, 1982.)
