All water service connections made to the mains of the waterworks system of the city shall be made substantially in the following manner:

    An all brass corporation cock with both ends threaded shall be tapped into the body of the water main at a distance of not less than one foot from any bell or spigot joint on the water main to be tapped and shall be set at a point on the pipe at an approximate angle of forty-five (45) degrees from the vertical. From the corporation cock, a one-eighth bend tail piece connected thereto shall be run a copper pipe to a point immediately in front of the sidewalk or property line at which point, there shall be installed an all brass service stopcock. On each end of the brass or copper there shall be a suitable brass or copper coupling for making connections with the corporation cock and curb cock. (Curb cock to be part of the meter yoke, which shall be placed in the meter box.) The copper pipe shall be laid with sufficient waves, and where the same is connected with corporation cock shall have a goose neck or bend supported by brick or stone so as to prevent damage from the settling of earth. All pipe used in trenches or other concealed construction on the service side of the meter shall be of Type K copper. The service charge provided in this chapter includes all labor, material and equipment up to and including the meter box, meter yoke, stopcock placed in Y or T connection and meter box cover. From the meter box, the owner will be required to continue the pipe line to and upon the premises to be supplied with water at his own expense. (Prior code § 38-1-19)
