the current six (6) months period shall call for imme-
diate degrading or suspension of the permit, unless the
last individual result is within the grade limit.

are beyond the limit for the grade then held, the Health
Officer shall send written notice thereof to the person
concerned. He shall then take an additional sample, but
not before the lapse of three (3) day s. Immediate de-
grading, suspension of permit, and/or court action shall

additional samples, or when the grade limit is again
violated during the remainder of the current six (6) month

sion and Governing Body and such approval entered in
writing upon the plat by the chairman and secretary of
the Commission and the Mayor and City Clerk: Provided,

limits of the city. The Governing Body of the city shall
provide for the method by which this section of the artic-
le shall be enforced. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall
have power to modify or vary the setback regulations in
specific cases, in order that unwarranted hardship, which

from merely granting a privilege, may be avoided, yet the
intended purpose of the regulations shall be stricrly ob-
served and the public welfare and public safety protect-
ed: Provided, however, That setback regulations shall
not be adopted, changed or amended until a public hear-
ing has been held thereon, fifteen (15) days' notice prior

vised, 1948) (G.S. 12-822)
30-110. Taps and Charges. (a) The phras e 'lineal feet'
where hereinafter used shall be deemed to refer to the
foot frontage of the private property that may be served
from any eJristing water main or water mains that may
hereafter be installed by the Water Department of the
City of Salina; in the event any such property is carved
into lots and irregularly shaped, the lineal footage shall
be deemed to refer to the main width of any such irregu-
lar lot.
(b) Whenever any person, firm or corporation desires to
obtain water service to any property, to or upon or for
any property, not heretofore served with water by the
Water Department of the City of Salina, as a condition
precedent to the installation of such service, in addition
to all the other charges, a sum equal to One Dollar and
Fifty Cents ($1.50) multiplied by the front footage of the
property to be so served shall be paid into the Water
Department. The Department shall tap on all mains or
distribution lines, inserting a corporation cock and fur-
nishing the union for the connection to the service line.
A charge shall be made for each tap in addition to the
sums aforesaid in the amount of Ten Dollars ($10) for
three-fourths (3/4) inch corporation cocks and Twelve
Dollars ($12) for each one (1) inch corporation cock.
Larger sized corporation cocks may be authorized by the

cost of installation plus fifteen per cent (15%) to be paid
to the Water Department when the service is installed
and applied for or the tap ordered.
(c) No charge shall be made to property that can be
served from paralleling installations in the event that the
property to be so served has been a consumer of water
from said Department antecedent to the effective date
hereof.
(d) It shall be the duty of any person applying for the
provision of new service of water from and after the
effective date hereof to correctly state the lineal foot
frontage of property to be thereby served. In the event of
the failure so to do, the Superintendent of the Waterworks

to any such property where the lineal front footage was
misrepresented. (Ord. 5892, Sec. 1, 9-13-54)
30-111. Care and Installation of Service Lines. All
consumers shall keep their own fixtures, service lines
and curb cocks in good repair and protected from frost
at their own expense, and shall prevent all unnecessaty
waste of water, keeping all fixtures closed when not in
use. It is expressly s.tipulated that no claim shall be
made against the city or the Waterworks Department be-
cause of any break in the service or any damage arising
from the cutting off of water to repair mains, make con-
nections or for any other purpose that becomes neces-
sary; the right is hereby reserved to cut off water at any
time when deemed necessary. Defective service lines
must be promptly repaired; otherwise the water may be
shut off at the main, notice having first been given, and
the cost charged against the service. When it becomes
neces sary for installation of service lines to be effected
or repairs to be made to existing service lines between
the main and the curb cock, or when curb cocks are brok-
en or cannot be closed, service boxes are misplaced,
filled with debris or require new lids, or when other re-
pairg or replacements are necessary to the proper opera-
tion of the system and the supplying of water to users,
or to prevent waste of water, reasonable efforts shall be
made to request or notify the owner or party liable for
the expense and to induce him to make the necessary in-
stallations, repairs or alterations; but in cases where,
after reasonable effort, it is found impossible or imprac-
ticable to notify the owner or parrv liable, or where the
owner reports inability to obtain a plumber to install a
service line, or where the owner or party fails or refuses
to have the necessaty repairs made within a reason able
length of time, or where an emergency does not permit
the necessary delay in finding the owner or party liable,
then the Waterworks Department shall make such repairs
or alterations or cause service lines to be installed to
the curb cock as are necessary and charge the actual
cost of labor and material involved, plus twenty-five
per cent (25%) for overhead expenses, against the prop-
erty served, and the same shall be collectible in the
same manner as monthly water bills. No service lines
shall be abandoned without first having been shut off
and capped or plugged at the corporation cock at the ex-
pense of the property owner. (R.O. 1948, 28-111; G.S.
13-2410, 13-2411)

tained at sufficient elevation so as to prevent water
from draining into the top of the tile or pit. The owner
shall leave a gap in the service line of proper size to
accommodate the meter and connections furnished by

or pit of sufficient depth, width and length for convenient
installation, removal and reading. In such installations
the dial of the meter shall not be more than two (2) feet
below the top of the tile or pit. Should it not seem prac-
ticable to locate the meter adjacent to the curb box,
written permission shall be obtained from the Superin-
tendent to place the meter at such point as the Super-
intendent shall direct. No person shall molest, injure,
or in any way interfere with any water meter, meter box
or cover, or anything appertaining thereto, and no person
shall deposit dirt, stone or rubbish of any nature in any
meter box or service box. The occupant of any building
or premises where a meter is located shall keep the me-
ter free from all obstructions so that it is at all times
conveniently accessible for reading, inspecting or re-
pairing. The Superintendent, or persons authorized by
him, may enter at any reasonable hour any premises sup-
plied with water in order to inspect or repair meters,
pipes or fixtures or to investigate the use of water, or
to obtain meter readings. Whether a meter is located in
a building, an approved meter box or housing in the park-
ing or sidewalk or elsewhere, the consumer or owner of
the property in which such meter is placed shall be re-
sponsible for its protection and preservation and any
damage sustained by such meter shall be charged to

by improper method of thawing when frozen, the cost of
the repairs shall be chargeable to the property in the
same manner as prescribed for repairs to services. In
case any meter fails to register for any cause, the
amount charged for water during such period shall be
estimated by the Superintendent, such estimate to be
based on the average amount registered during a like
preceding period and such other information as is avail-
