Haw. Code R. § 15-319-23

Current through November, 2024
Section 15-319-23 - Service connection or disconnection
(a) Only employees or agents of the corporation will be allowed to connect or disconnect the service connection to and from the corporation's main.
(b) No service connection or main will be installed by the corporation in any private road, lane, street, alley, court or place, unless the corporation is given proper easements or other rights satisfactory to the corporation for the main or service connection.
(c) All meters shall be installed in locations approved by the corporation. All service connections are for the use of the corporation only.
(d) When the proper size of service connection for any premises has been determined and the installation has been made, the corporation has fulfilled its obligations insofar as the size and location of the service connection are concerned. If thereafter the consumer desires and the corporation approves a change in the size or location of the service connection, the consumer shall bear all costs of the change.
(e) A readily accessible shut-off valve controlling all outlets at the consumer's premises shall be installed by and at the expense of the consumer on the consumer's supply pipe, unless the corporation approves otherwise in writing.
(f) All work and materials in connection with a change in location or elevation or alteration of any kind to any part of the existing water system made necessary by a new service connection shall be done and furnished by the corporation at the expense of the consumer. A consumer, prior to making any material change in the size, character, or extent of the equipment or operations for which the corporation's service is utilized, shall give the corporation written notice of the extent and nature of the change together with the plans and specifications, not less than sixty days before the change is to be undertaken. The change shall be subject to the corporation's written approval, which approval may be contingent upon the consumer's prepayment of the cost of any alteration to the corporation's water system. The corporation's failure to approve or disapprove the change within sixty days after receipt of written notice thereof shall be construed as approval.
(g) When required by the corporation, contours or elevations shall be furnished by the consumer, based upon data provided by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey or the applicable county.
(h) The corporation will determine the location and size of all meters and service connections to the corporation's water system.
