A. Connections with the city mains for standpipe and sprinkler service to be used for protection in case of fire, will be made upon application thereof as provided in Section 13.56.020 of this chapter. Such connections must be made entirely separate from the regular service taps, the complete installation to be made under the supervision of the water department and paid for by the applicant.

B. To cover the cost of carrying a supply of water under pressure in such service, cost of inspection and possibility of leakage and waste, an annual charge will be made at the rates to be provided in the rules of the water department.

C. Every valve or outlet must be sealed. Seals must be broken only in case of fire and in such case prompt notification must be made to the superintendent of water, and the valve will be resealed. A penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) will be imposed in case any sealed valve is opened without an immediate notification to the water department.

D. The premises upon which any such fire protection service is installed shall be opened to the inspection of any authorized representative of the water department at all times, and the owner or tenant shall give such representative all reasonable facilities for making the inspection, and any information he may require. The owner or tenant can test the apparatus at any time by notifying the superintendent of water that such a test is desired, and a time will be fixed for the test to be made; no water shall be used for commercial purposes from fire hydrants or service pipes for fire hydrants. All service for fire protection and sprinkler systems shall be kept separate and disconnected from water pipes used for commercial purposes. (Prior code § 10.18.380)
