Article 6 - WATER UTILITIES
Rule 1.5 - Extension of Water Mains
Section 1.5-29 - Main extension route

(a) The utility shall use good engineering and water utility practices in determining the route for all main extensions.

(b) The utility shall determine the total length of the extension from its existing main to serve the extension to the end of the lot or frontage of the most remote applicant to be served.

(c) However, if the end lot or frontage is a corner lot or frontage abutting an intersecting street in which an existing main is located, the end of the new extension must connect with the existing main located in that intersecting street.

(d) If the end lot or frontage is a corner lot or frontage abutting an intersecting street in which no main is located, the end of the new extension may not extend beyond the intersecting street corner of that lot.

(e) If the street in which the main is to be laid dead ends in a cul-de-sac or appears to be permanently dead ended against a railroad, creek, river, or other major physical or natural barrier, the end point of the main extension, if serving the most remote lot or frontage, shall be the point of the most remote service pipe connection, which connection point shall be at least ten (10) feet beyond the lot line.
