Hallsville Application for Water for Building Purposes ordinance (§ 705.140)

Chapter 705: Water Regulations · Article I. Rules and Regulations for Water Use

In short: Anyone wanting city water for building work must apply to the City Water Superintendent on the city's form. If a permit is granted, the applicant pays for all installation, including the meter box, meter, stop and faucet. When the building is done, the faucet and pipe are removed and the water shut off unless a permanent connection is made.

Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.

Persons or corporations desiring to use City water for building purposes shall make application therefor to the City Water Superintendent on a form provided by the City for that purpose. Upon a permit being granted, the main shall be tapped and the service pipes shall be carried to the meter box inside of the curb line where a meter box with a meter, City stop with a pipe leading to the surface, and a faucet placed at the end thereof above said surface shall be installed. The faucet shall be kept covered, when not in use locked. All installation shall be at the expense of the applicant. When the building is completed, the faucet and pipe shall be taken up as far as said meter box and the water shut off at that point unless permanent connection hereunder is made.
