All applications for the installation of a water service connection shall be made at the Municipal
Engineer's Office by the owner or their authorized agent, who shall, at the time they make such

survey calculations, which ever is greater, for any proposed small-scale multi-family
redevelopment containing 4, 5 or 6 dwelling units.
For the purpose of this section, "small-scale multi-family redevelopment" means the redevelopment
of a parcel involving 3, 4, 5 or 6 dwelling units where the parcel was previously vacant or developed
with a single-family house or a duplex.
(8700)
Changing Fixtures
10.
No change or addition shall be made by any person in the number or description of fixtures on any
premises until notice thereof has been given in writing at the Collector's office, and written permission

the same shall be paid forthwith.
Document: 6640010
Discontinuing of Fixtures
11.
In case any person desires to discontinue the use of any fixtures or attachments, such fixtures or
attachments must be completely cut off and detached from the water supply to the satisfaction of the
Municipal Engineer or his authorized Inspector, and no person shall re-attach the same without first
giving notice at the said Collector's office.

(6476)
Failure to Repair
12A.
Where conditions set out in section 12 exist, and the necessary repairs or alterations have not been
made by the owner or occupier within 48 hours after notification, or where the condition of the pipes
or fixtures is causing damage to property, then, without further notice, the Municipal Engineer may
cut off the supply of water by shutting the stopcock, or by detaching the service pipe from the main;
and before the water is again turned on, such pipes, fixtures or meters shall be repaired or altered to
the satisfaction of the Municipal Engineer, and no person supplied from such service pipe shall have
any claim against The Corporation by reason of such cutting off of the water.
(6476)
13.
The owner or authorized agent of any premises desiring the same to be served with water, shall make
an application therefore in the form presented as Schedule "A" hereto, to the Municipal Engineer.
When the same is approved the applicant shall pay to the Collector the connection fee as set forth in
Schedule "B" hereto and when the Municipal Engineer is advised that the money has so been paid,
they shall provide an ordinary house water service to within 18 inches of the street line and/or
boundary line, when such service can be conveniently supplied from the existing water system. If it
shall be found by the Municipal Engineer that there is no municipal water supply convenient to the lot
for which the owner or authorized agent has made application for the water supply, they shall be so
notified by the Municipal Engineer and shall pay all costs for the extension of the water supply system
to meet their requirements, subject to the consent and approval of Council. Further, where the
application shall require such services, conditions and meter installations, the Municipal Engineer
shall estimate the cost of such special requirements and advise the Collector of these charges,
whether for immediate payment or for collection by meter or other terms as required under this bylaw.

at the Collector's Office a sum estimated to be the cost of providing such service, such sum to be
determined by the Municipal Engineer, and upon receipt of such sum, the Engineer shall, as soon as
convenient, provide such service. If the cost of providing such service be less than the amount so
deposited, the Collector shall repay to the applicant the difference between such amount and the
amount so deposited, and if such cost shall exceed the amount so deposited, the applicant shall pay
such excess forthwith, and before the water is turned on.
Document: 6640010
Fire Services
16 .
Where a fire-service connection has been installed on any premises, and where the nature of the
installation is such that water could be used from the said service otherwise than for fire protection,
such fire connection service may be sealed by the Collector, and at all times when so sealed, except
in cases of fire, shall be kept securely sealed so as to prevent the using or consuming of any water
whatsoever from such connection. For the purpose of sealing such service, the Collector or any
person authorized by them for such purpose, shall have the right to enter in and upon the premises
to seal such service wherever necessary. When the seal has been broken in cases of fire or
otherwise, the owner or occupant of the premises shall so report to the Collector within twenty-four
(24) hours after the breaking of such seal, and the Collector shall thereupon have the same re-sealed.
Work to Be Done by Municipal Employees
17.
No work of any kind connected with the Water Works service, either for laying of new or the repair of
old services, shall be done upon or under any streets in the Municipality by any person other than the
employees of The Corporation or by employees of persons holding a contract with The Corporation
for the performance of waterworks.

in all cases they must be laid in such a manner as to be protected from frost. Each service pipe shall
be provided with a stop and waste tap, of a pattern to be approved by the Engineer, which shall be
placed immediately inside the outer wall of the premises supplied, for the use of the owner or occupant
of the premises in case of leaky or defective pipes or fixtures, or in cases where the premises are
vacated.
19.
Every branch water-service pipe serving any stand-pipe, underground sprinkler system, fountain,
fish-pond, or any exposed service, shall be equipped with a stop and waste cock so placed at the
point of connection with the main service that all service pipes and fixtures may be thoroughly drained
and protected from frost. Every water connection designed to serve a hydraulic elevator shall be
provided with a pressure relief and check valve.

A sand strainer, pressure regulator, and relief valve shall be installed by the owner on the water
service of every building when the initial pressure of the street main in proximity to the building

total service does not exceed one cold supply tap.)
Water Meters
21.
(a) The Municipal Engineer may (whenever they shall deem it advisable) compel the use of water
meters by any person using or consuming water supplied by The Corporation, and may refuse

agreement to take, use and pay for such water according to the form provided for that purpose
set out in Schedule "A" of this bylaw; and no water meter shall be used in connection with the
Water Works System by any person unless such water meter shall have first been authorized
by the Engineer. Every owner, tenant or occupant shall give every facility for the introduction
and protection of water pipes and meters placed upon their premises, and whenever any person
shall refuse or neglect to pay water rates or rents, within the time specified in the said agreement,
for water registered by such water meter, or to pay the rents or rates imposed by the bylaw, it
shall and may be lawful for the Engineer to cut off the supply of water; and, when a meter is
blocked or is out of order, and fails to register the full quarterly amount of water supplied, or
indicates that no water has been used, it shall and may be lawful to charge and collect the same
Document: 6640010
water rates as if water had been used; such last mentioned rates shall be an average flat rate
based upon the previous six months' account paid in respect to water supplied to the premises
against which such meter has been placed;
(b) Subject to (a) hereof, owners of premises supplied with water by The Corporation may, in cases
where the Engineer has not required a meter, elect to be provided with metered service;
PROVIDED HOWEVER, once a meter has been installed, it shall not be removed without
permission of the Engineer.

Owners, occupants, or tenants of premises supplied with water by The Corporation shall provide and
maintain an adequate and convenient passageway to the water meter installed therein or therefor,

removal of such meter. All privately-owned meters shall be under the supervision, inspection and
control of the Water Works Department.

A person to whom water is supplied under this bylaw and who is liable to any special charge over and
above the annual rate for residential premises may elect to have their water service metered. Where
a meter is installed pursuant to this section, it shall remain installed for a period of no less than twelve
(12) months.
