Hallsville Permits Issued: When ordinance (§ 705.070)
Chapter 705: Water Regulations · Article I. Rules and Regulations for Water Use
In short: The Water Superintendent issues a water connection permit once you've followed city ordinances and paid the tapping and installing fee. You need a separate permit for each connection and for any extension or change, and a plumber authorized by the Board of Aldermen must do the work. Branches require the Superintendent's approval.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
When the applicant hereunder has complied with all the provisions of the ordinances of said City and upon compliance with Section 705.040 hereof as to the payment of such tapping and installing fee, a permit shall then be issued by said City Water Superintendent authorizing the connection to be made, and all plumbing and plumbing work in any manner or way connected therewith to be done. Whenever it is desired to extend or change the work or plumbing authorized by such permit, it shall first be necessary to obtain a permit in the same manner as the permit hereinabove is obtained. All such plumbing and plumbing work shall be done by a plumber authorized by the Board of Aldermen of said City to do such plumbing. The permit shall authorize any such plumber who may be selected to do the plumbing and plumbing work in the permit described. Nothing in the permit shall be construed to permit or authorize any such connection to be made or water to be used or the same had or maintained contrary to the provisions of this Article, nor shall it authorize anything not explicitly and truthfully stated in the application. A special permit must be obtained for each connection serving a single building, residence, premises, room or place. No branches shall be used or installed unless it can be done without impairing the convenience or the main connection and if not detrimental in extinguishing fires, and for this purpose, no permit for a branch shall be issued unless first authorized and approved by the Water Superintendent.
