Sacramento Municipal Code Art. IV Construction of Water Distribution Facilities Within City Limits

Any person requesting water service from a public water main for a property or properties where no water distribution facilities have been installed shall apply to the director for permission to install the distribution facilities. The application shall be made to the director and shall contain plans and specifications for the proposed distribution facilities, that shall conform to the requirements of the director as to size, type and quality of materials and location of transmission and/or distribution mains. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

If the director certifies in writing that the plans and specifications submitted conform to the requirements of the department, the applicant may cause the water distribution facilities to be installed by either private contract or by another procedure acceptable to the director. The department's approval of tentative map conditions and subsequent improvement plans shall satisfy this requirement. All costs associated with the installation shall be the responsibility of the applicant. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

The director shall have the right to inspect all work performed and all work must be approved by the director after inspection before the distribution facilities shall be connected to the city water distribution system. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

After the director issues a notice of completion, the distribution facilities shall become the property of the city. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)
