§ 122-30. Connections to water system by certain establishments for fire prevention.

Proprietors of such establishments as lumberyards, hotels, public buildings, halls, stores, warehouses, or factories, who are regular customers of the waterworks and who wish to lay pipes larger than two inches with hydrants and hose couplings to be used in case of fire on their own premises, will be permitted to connect with the street main on application to the waterworks and payment of the tap fee and, under its direction, at their own expense, be allowed to use water for fire purposes only, whether on a meter or not. But in case such fire connections are on a meter which is used for other purposes, all of the water which is used exclusively for the extinguishment of fire in such premises shall be deducted from the water bill.
