11.36.010 - Customer's responsibility.¶
The customer shall, at his own risk and expense, furnish, install and keep in good and safe condition all equipment that may be required for receiving, controlling, applying and utilizing water, and the water system shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by the improper installation of such water equipment, or the negligence, want of proper care or wrongful act of the customer or of any of his tenants, agents, employees, contractors, licensees or permittees in installing, maintaining, using, operating or interfering with such equipment. The customer shall be responsible for determining the pressure operation limits of his fixtures and equipment and shall properly protect the same from any variance of water delivery pressures, including periods when for any reason whatsoever there is no water available.
(Ord. 324 N.C. § 9.01, 1958.)
1136.020 - Control valve.¶
The owner of premises to be served shall install a control valve on the house piping between the water meter and the first fixture outlet on the premises. When old premises, to which a service connection has previously been installed, are being altered, a control valve shall be installed by the owner, if such is not already provided. The customer shall not operate the curb stop in the meter box at any time.
(Ord. 324 N.C. § 9.02, 1958.)

Such single check valves are merely to prevent the draining of the customer's piping and plumbing in the event the water need be shut off temporarily and shall not be considered adequate if a back flow protection device is required.
(Ord. 324 N.C. § 9.03, 1958.)
11.36.040 - Pressure relief valve.¶
