Section 3-3

Pressure Conditions, Elevation Agreement

  (a)    The department will not accept responsibility to maintain pressure
      in its water mains.
  (b)    Where property is situated at such an elevation that it cannot be
      assured of a dependable supply from the department's distribution
      system, the consumer, in consideration of connection with the
      department's system, must agree to accept such service as the
      department is able to render from its existing facilities; to install
      and maintain at his expense, a tank and pump, with an air gap between
      the consumer's supply pipe and the department's system, of suitable
      design and of sufficient capacity to furnish an adequate supply of
      water; and to execute a written release in favor of the department
      for all claims on account of any inadequacy in the department's
      system or inadequacy of water supply to the consumer.
  (c)    All such agreements shall be recorded at the Bureau of Conveyances.
  (d)    When the pressure of the department's supply fluctuates or is
      higher than that for which individual fixtures are designed, the
      consumer shall protect such fixtures by installing and maintaining
      pressure reducing and relief valves.  The department will not be
      liable for damage due to pressure conditions or for damages caused by
      or arising from the failure or defective condition of such pressure
      regulators and relief valves or for damage that may occur through the
      installation, maintenance, or use of such equipment.
