935.01 WATER DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
   Pursuant to Ohio R.C. 727.44, a district is hereby established to be known as Sheffield Lake Water District No. 1. The boundaries of this District shall be coterminous with the boundaries of the City as presently constituted. (Ord. 56-67. Passed 6-27-67.)
935.02 DEFINITIONS.
   The following terms and definitions shall apply to work done under the provisions of this chapter:
   (a)    "Water service connection" means the complete water service pipe line from and including the tap into the water main in the street to the outlet side of the meter. (Ord. 5-67. Passed 1-10-67.)
   (b)    "City" means the City of Sheffield Lake, Ohio.
   (c)    "Superintendent" means the Superintendent of the Divisions of Water and Sewers.
   (d)    "Clerk" means the Clerk of the Department of Public Service.
   (e)    "Director" means the Director of Public Service.
   (f)    "Office" means the rooms used by the Superintendent, Clerk and Director for the transaction of business in the building located at 4750 Richelieu Avenue. (Ord. 116-69. Passed 12-9-69.)
935.03 CONNECTIONS.
   (a)    Following the placing in operation of the water main in any street or other thoroughfare, or in any private right of way within the City, the Director of Public Service shall order the owners of any house, cottage or other building adjacent to such water main to install, within ninety days of receipt of such order, a water service connection. If any property owner fails to comply with this regulation, the City shall proceed to build such water service connection and to assess the cost upon the owner of the property. Where a portion of such water service connection has been previously installed, this regulation shall apply only to the portion to be installed.
   (b)    All water service connections shall be built by the City, either separately upon receipt of application from the property owner, or when deemed advisable by the Director, under a contract for a water main in the street.
   (c)    For the purpose of providing a fund to pay the cost of such service connections, when built separately, there shall be deposited with each application for a water service connection a sum of money, as fixed by the Director and stipulated in the schedule of fees on file with the Clerk of the Department of Public Service, sufficient to meet the average cost of building a water service connection. Such sums so deposited shall be paid into the City Treasury to the credit of the Water Fund.
(Ord. 5-67. Passed 1-10-67.)
   (d)    To obtain a water service connection the applicant shall, before the permit may be issued, pay for all labor and material to make the connection from the main to the house side of the meter. Charges are hereby fixed at nine hundred and seventy dollars ($970.00) for a normal three-quarter inch connection and one thousand eighty dollars ($1080.00) for a one inch connection. Other size connections will be charged in accordance with actual labor and materials required plus an additional fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00), except that in multi-family dwellings in excess of two family units there shall be an additional fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00) for the first family unit plus one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each additional family unit, plus the actual costs of labor and material. The additional fee for connection of such water service of three hundred dollars ($300.00) plus the one hundred dollars ($100.00) per family unit shall be deposited in the Water Capital Improvement Fund of the City.
   In addition, a fee of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) shall be charged for relocating any water service connection. Before any connection is established, it shall be necessary to have obtained a building permit for the site to be serviced. Water service connections shall be made by the City under contract with the property owner only, and such property owner shall be held responsible for all charges and fees in connection with the supply of water to the premises. The responsibility of the City for the supply of water shall end at the outlet side of the meter. All repairs or construction from that point to the building shall be the obligation and expense of the property owner. (Ord. 51-04. Passed 10-26-04.)
