§ 165-17. Additional specifications for certain installations.

A. 

In all places where steam boilers, heating systems or hot-water tanks are supplied with water from the water system, the owner or consumer must see that the plumber places a suitable safety valve, vacuum valve or other proper device to prevent damage from collapse or explosion when water is shut off.

B. 

Where the chance of a health hazard contamination of the water supply exists through backflow or back-siphonage, an American Water Works Association approved reduced-pressure backflow preventer will be installed. All of the plumbing work necessary will be at the property owner's expense.

C. 

The village shall not be liable for any damage resulting from sudden shutting off of the supply of water from any steam boiler or other fixture deriving its supply from the water system.

D. 

The village reserves the right to limit the amount of water furnished to any consumer should circumstances warrant such action, or the village may entirely shut off the water supply used for any manufacturing purpose, for furnishing power or for lawn sprinkling at any time by giving reasonable notice by publication, if possible, of such intended action, or in the case of making or constructing new work, or in making repairs or in an emergency, the right is reserved to shut off the water from any consumer without notice for as long a period as may be necessary.

E. 

The village shall not be liable for any damage or loss of any name or kind to property or persons which may arise from or be caused by any change, diminution in or increase of the water pressure from any cause whatever, or for the shutting off of water, or water-main breaks or service leaks.

F. 

Any air conditioner or cooling device using water in its operation shall make use of a cooling tower or some means of reusing the water.

G. 

The Water Superintendent is authorized to promulgate additional specifications for items not otherwise provided for herein.
