A. Separate Building. Each house, commercial or industrial structure under separate ownership must be provided with a separate service connection. Two or more structures under one ownership and on the same lot or parcel of land may be supplied through the same service connection, and an additional minimum charge will be applied to the single meter serving said structures, or a separate service connection may be provided for each building. The city reserves the right to limit the number of structures or the area of land under one ownership to be supplied by one service connection.

B. Single Connection. Not more than one service connection for domestic or commercial supply shall be installed for one building, except under special conditions. The city manager is authorized to determine that special conditions exist upon making a finding that more than one service connection will better serve the customer, will not result in unreasonable damage or expense to the water system, and will not have an adverse effect on the billing system.

C. Different Owners. A service connection shall not be used to supply adjoining property and/or property of a different owner or to supply property of the same owner across a street or alley.

D. Divided Property. When property provided with a service connection is divided, each service connection shall be considered as belonging to the lot or parcel of land which it directly enters. [Ord. 910 Art. 4, § 9, 2016; Ord. 878 Art. 4, § 9, 2015.]
