A. Plumbing Code. The customer’s plumbing, which shall include the customer’s service line and all plumbing, piping, fixtures, and other appurtenances carrying or intended to carry water, shall comply with the Uniform Plumbing Code or other state or federal codes/guidelines which may apply. The customer service line shall be covered to protect from freezing.

B. Control Valves. The borough shall install a suitable control valve in the customer service line at a location determined by the department, the operation of which will control the entire water supply to the premises served. In the event a customer’s service is discontinued for any reason, a control valve must be installed, if none exists, at the customer’s expense. All control valves shall be installed by the borough and the following billing procedure shall apply:

1. The department shall make a cost estimate for the installation which the customer shall pay in advance.

2. Upon completion of the installation as determined by the department, the chief fiscal officer shall bill for any additional expenses or refund any excess from the cost estimate collected so that the borough will collect its actual costs of labor and materials, a reasonable charge for equipment used, and an allowance of 15 percent of such costs and charges for overhead expenses.

C. It shall be a violation of this chapter for the customer to operate, cause, or permit unauthorized operation of the meter stop or any appurtenances on the service connection.
