TO REGULATE THE USE OF WATER FROM THE WATER
WORKS OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, AND TO
ESTABLISH RATES FOR THE SAME.

The City Council of the City of Minneapolis do ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Every person taking or using water from the City
Water Works of said city shall comply with and abide by the fol-
lowing regulations :

All service pipes connecting with the main pipes of the City Water Works shall from the mains to the curbs be equal in strength to "double A" lead pipe, and shall have wiped joints wherever lead pipe is used. When service pipe of more rigid material than lead is used, it shall be connected with the mains by at least two feet of lead pipe and the stop cocks at the ends shall have but one washer.

The service pipes shall be at least eight feet below the surface grade of the street, and in such manner as to prevent rupture from settling, and shall be provided with a stop cock at the curb of the sidewalk, which stop cock shall in all cases be protected by a pipe or box leading from the same to the surface, which shall have an iron box cover, with the word "water" marked thereon, and so exposed as to be readily found; the whole to be completed subject to the approval of the Superintendent of the Water Works. All service pipes shall be one-eighth of an inch larger in the interior

than the tap in the main with which it is connected, and a stop and draw-cock shall be properly located within the building and the pipes so arranged that the water can be drawn from them whenever there is danger of freezing. Taps connecting with the mains for ordinary domestic supply shall not be of larger size than fiveeighths of an inch, without special permission of the superintendent.

All expenses relating to the introduction of water into buildings or private premises shall be paid by the applicant therefor; except that no charge shall be made for the services of the Superintendent, who shall direct where and in what manner the mains shall be tapped, and excavations made in the streets for laying pipes.

Application for a permit to use water shall be made by the applicant to the Superintendent of Water Works, which app.ication shall specify in detail all uses to be made of the water, and shall be accompanied by the amount of money required in this ordinance for rates, for use of water for the current half year (and to the expiration thereof) together with the rate for making such connection with the water main, as established in this ordinance.

Applicants for permits to use water or to make additions or alterations, shall in writing state fully all purposes for which water is to be used.

And the applicants further answer without concealment all questions concerning the subject of the application which may be asked by the Superintendent of Water Works, and consumers of water shall at all times answer truly all questions which shall be asked them by the Superintendent concerning the use or waste of water. In case of false statements or fraudulent concealment on the part of the applicant or consumer, the payments made by him shall be forfeited, and the Superintendent shall turn off the water from such person's premises. Upon such application and payment the applicant shall receive from said Superintendent a written permit to use water as specified in said application, and to lay service pipes from such water mains subject to all the regulations of the ordinances of said city and the directions of the Board of Water Commissioners thereof.

All persons taking water shall at their own expense keep their service pipes, and all pipes and fixtures connected therewith in good repair and protected from frost, and shall prevent all unnecessary waste of water. No deduction in the rates shall ever be made on account of service pipes being frozen or out of repair. If any person who has paid rates for the use of water shall wilfully waste water or permit it to be wasted by reason of his service pipe or fixtures being out of repair, or by permitting water to be taken from his premises by other persons who have not paid the city in advance therefor, he shall be deemed to have forfeited the moneys by him

paid for such rates, and it shall be the duty of the Superintendent of Water Works to stop his supply of water, and such Superintendent shall not turn on the water to the service pipe of such person, until he shall be satisfied that such waste will not be repeated nor again permitted; nor until said person shall have paid the sum of five dollars for turning off and on the water, in case any digging was necessary, or the sum of three dollars where no digging is necessary.

Water shall not be kept running except when in actual use unless it is so specified in the application, and permission of the Superintendent is granted to that effect upon the payment of an extra charge therefor to be fixed by the Superintendent.

No additions nor alterations whatever shall be made in the taking of water except upon the permission of the Superintendent of Water Works, obtained in writing by the applicant, or a request by him in writing through a licensed plumber.

No person taking water shall allow any other person to take water from his service pipe unless such person shall have a permit therefor from the Superintendent of Water Works. No person having service pipes upon his premises, shall make, or cause to be made, any tap or faucet upon the same or connection therewith, without a permit therefor first obtained from the Superintendent of Water Works, after application made therefor; and no plumber nor other person shall make any connection with any service pipe, nor any change in any tap or faucet, nor attach any new tap or faucet to any water pipe without a permit being first granted therefor by the said Superintendent. And whenever water shall have been turned off from any premises, or service pipe, because of non-payment of water-rates or for any cause, no person other than the Superintendent of Water Works or person acting under his immediate authority and direction shall turn on the water again.

No person shall open or interfere with any of the hydrants or gates of the city, except the Superintendent of the Water Works, or persons specially authorized by him, and members of the Fire Department.

The city shall not be liable under any circumstances for any deficiency or failure in the supply of water to consumers, whether occasioned by shutting the water off for the purpose of making repairs or connections, or for any other cause whatever. In case of fire or an alarm of fire, or in making repairs, or in constructing new works, the Superintendent may shut off the water at any time and keep it shut off so long as he shall deem necessary.

SEC. 2. From and after the first day of May, 1881, the following annual rates shall be charged and collected by the City of Minneapolis for the use of water furnished by he City Water Works, payable half yearly in advance, on the first days of May and November, in each
