Schedule Mg-1 and the charge added to the annual seasonal service charge.
B. For disconnections of service not previously considered as seasonal, emergency, or
temporary, if service is resumed at the same premises by the same customer within a
twelve-month period, and if there has been no service to another customer during the
intervening period, the customer shall be billed for the pro rata share of the applicable
service charge for the period of disconnection.
C. Further, if service has been disconnected or a meter removed, a charge under Schedule
R-1 shall be applied at the time of reconnection or meter installation.
D. Billing shall be the same as in Schedule Mg-1.

§ 187-14. Establishment of water service.
A. Application for water service may be made in writing on a form furnished by the water
utility. The application will contain the legal description of the property to be served,
name of the owner, the exact use to be made of the service, and the size of the service
lateral and meter desired. Note particularly any special refrigeration, fire protection or
water-consuming air-conditioning equipment.
B. Service will be furnished only if:
(1) The premises have a frontage on a properly platted street or public strip in which a
cast iron or other long-life water main has been laid, or where the property owner
has agreed to and complied with the provisions of the utility’s filed main extension
rule;

stop to the point of use that is not less than six feet below the surface of an
established or proposed grade and meets the water utility’s specification; and
(3) The premises have adequate piping beyond the metering point.
C. The owner of a multi-unit dwelling has the option of being served by individual metered
water service to each unit. The owner, by selecting this option, is required to provide
interior plumbing and meter settings to enable individual metered service to each unit
and individual disconnection without affecting service to other units. Each meter and
meter connection will be a treated as a separate water utility account for the purpose of
the filed rules and regulations.
D. No division of the water service lateral to any lot or parcel of land shall be made for the
extension and independent metering of the supply to an adjoining lot or parcel of land.
Except for duplexes, no division of a water supply lateral shall be made at the curb for
separate supplies for two or more separate premises having frontage on any street or
public service strip, whether owned by the same or different parties.
E. Duplexes may be served by one lateral provided:
(1) Individual metered service and disconnection is provided; and
(2) It is permitted by local ordinance.
F. Buildings used in the same business, located on the same parcel, and served by a single
lateral may have the customer’s water supply piping installed t a central point so that
volume can be metered in one place.
G. The water utility may withhold approval of any application where full information of the
purpose of such supply is not clearly indicated and set forth by the applicant property
owner.
§ 187-15. Service contracts.
A. Where the water utility has disconnected service at the customer’s request, a reconnection
charge shall be made when the customer requests reconnection of service. See Schedule
R-1 for the applicable rate.
B. A reconnection charge shall also be required from consumers whose services are
disconnected (shut off at curb stop box) because of nonpayment of bills when due. See
Schedule R-1 for the applicable rate.
C. If reconnection is requested for the same location by any member of the same household,
or, if a place of business, by any partner of the same business, it shall be considered as
the same customer.
§ 187-16. Temporary metered service; meter and deposits.
An applicant for temporary water supply on a metered basis shall make and maintain a
monetary deposit for each meter installed, as security for payment for use of water and for
such other charges which may arise from the use of the supply. A charge shall be made for
setting the valve and furnishing and setting the meter. See Schedule BW-1 for applicable rate.
§ 187-17. Water for construction.
A. When water is requested for construction purposes or for filling tanks or other such uses,
an application shall be made to the water utility, in writing, giving a statement of the
amount of construction work to be done or the size of the tank to be filled, etc. Payment
for the water for construction may be required in advance at the scheduled rates. The
service lateral must be installed into the building before water can be used. No
connection with the service lateral at the curb shall be made without special permission
from the water utility. In no case will any employee of the water utility turn on water for
construction work unless the contractor has obtained permission from the water utility.
B. Consumers shall not allow contractors, masons or other persons to take water from their
premises without permission from the water utility. Any customer failing to comply with
this provision may have water service discontinued and will be responsible for the cost of
the estimated volume of water used.
§ 187-18. Use of hydrants.

B. Before a valve is set, payment must be made for its setting and for the water to be used
at the scheduled rates. Where applicable, see Schedule BW-1 for deposits and charges.
Upon completing the use of the hydrant, the customer must notify the utility to that
effect.
§ 187-19. Operation of valves and hydrants and unauthorized use of water.
Any person who shall, without authority of the water utility, allow contractors, masons or
other unauthorized persons to take water from their premises, operate any valve connected
with the street or supply mains, or open any fire hydrant connected with the distribution
system, except for the purpose of extinguishing fire, or who shall wantonly damage or impair
the same, shall be subject to a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $500 for the first
offense and not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 for a subsequent offense. Each day, or
portion thereof, that such violation continues is hereby deemed to constitute a separate
offense. Utility permission for the use of hydrants applies only to such hydrants that are
designated for the specific use.
§ 187-20. Refunds of monetary deposits.
All moneys deposited as security for payment of charges arising from the use of temporary
water service on a metered basis, or for the return of a hydrant valve and fixtures if the water
is used on an unmetered basis, will be refunded to the depositor on the termination of the use
of water, the payment of all charges levied against the depositor, and the return of the water
utility’s equipment.
§ 187-21. Service connections or water laterals.
A. No water service shall be laid through any trench having cinders, rubbish, rock or gravel
fill, or any other material which may cause injury to or disintegration of the service
lateral, unless adequate means of protection are provided by sand filling or such other
insulation as may be approved by the water utility. Service laterals passing through curb
or retaining walls shall be adequately safeguarded by provision of a channel space or
pipe casing not less than twice the diameter of the service connection. The space between
the service lateral and the channel or pipe casing shall be filled and lightly caulked with
oakum, mastic cement or other resilient material and made impervious to moisture.
B. In backfilling the pipe trench, the service pipe must be protected against injury by
carefully hand tamping the ground filling around the pipe. There should be at least six
inches of ground filling over the pipe, and it should be free from hard lumps, rocks,
stones or other injurious material. All water service laterals shall be of undiminished size
from the street main into the point of meter placement. Beyond the meter outlet valve,
the piping shall be sized and proportioned to provide, on all floors, at all times, an
equitable distribution of the water supply for the greatest probable number of fixtures or
appliances operating simultaneously.
§ 187-22. Replacement and repair of service laterals.
A. The service lateral from the main to and through the curb stop will be maintained and
kept in repair and, when worn out, replaced at the expense of the water utility. The
property owner shall maintain the service lateral from the curb stop to the point of use.
B. If an owner fails to repair a leaking or broken service lateral from the curb to the point of
metering or use within such time as may appear reasonable to the water utility after
notification has been served on the owner by the water utility, the water will be shut off
and will not be turned on again until the repairs have been completed.
§ 187-23. Abandonment of service.
If a property owner changes the use of a property currently receiving water service such that
water service will no longer be needed in the future, the water utility may require the
abandonment of the water service at the water main. In such case, the property owner may be
responsible for all removal and/or repair costs, including the water main and the utility portion
of the water service lateral.

repair and maintenance. This includes maintaining, through adjustment, the curb stop box at
an appropriate grade level where no direct action by the property owner or occupant has
contributed to an elevation problem. The property owner is responsible for protecting the curb
stop box from situations that could obstruct access to it or unduly expose it to harm. The
water utility shall not be liable for failure to locate the curb stop box and shut off the water in
case of a leak on the owner’s premises.
§ 187-27. Installation of meters.
Meters will be owned, furnished and installed by the water utility or a utility-approved
contractor and are not to be disconnected or tampered with by the customer. All meters shall
be so located that they shall be protected from obstructions and permit ready access for
reading, inspection and servicing, such location to be designated or approved by the water
utility. All piping within the building must be supplied by the owner. Where additional meters
are desired by the owner, the owner shall pay for all piping. Where applicable, see Schedule
Am-1 for rates.
§ 187-28. Repairs to meters.
A. Meters will be repaired by the water utility, and the cost of such repairs caused by
ordinary wear and tear will be borne by the water utility.
B. Repair of any damage to a meter resulting from the carelessness of the owner of the
premises, owner’s agent, or tenant, or from the negligence of any one of them to properly
secure and protect same, including any damage that may result from allowing a water
meter to become frozen or to be damaged from the presence of hot water or steam in the
meter, shall be paid for by the customer or the owner of the premises.
§ 187-29. Service piping for meter settings.
A. Where the original service piping is installed for a new metered customer, where existing
service piping is changed for the customer’s convenience, or where a new meter is
installed for an existing unmetered customer, the owner of the premises at his/her
expense shall provide a suitable location and the proper connections for the meter. The
meter setting and associated plumbing shall comply with the water utility’s standards.
The water utility should be consulted as to the type and size of meter setting.
§ 187-30. Turning on water.
The water may only be turned on for a customer by an authorized employee of the water
utility. Plumbers may turn the water on to test their work, but upon completion, must leave
the water turned off.
§ 187-31. Failure to read meters.
A. Where the water utility is unable to read a meter, the fact will be plainly indicated on the
bill, and either an estimated bill will be computed or the minimum charge applied. The
difference shall be adjusted when the meter is again read, that is, the bill for the
succeeding billing period will be computed with the gallons or cubic feet in each block
of the rate schedule doubled and credit will be given on that bill for the amount of the
bill paid the preceding period. Only in unusual cases shall more than three consecutive
estimated or minimum bills be rendered.
B. If the meter is damaged (see § 187-43, Surreptitious use of water) or fails to operate, the
bill will be based on the average use during the past year, unless there is some reason
why the use is not normal. If the average use cannot be properly determined, the bill will
be estimated by some equitable method.
C. For provisions regarding failure to read meters, see Wis. Adm. Code § PSC 185.33.
§ 187-32. Complaint meter tests.

optimal level of fluoride for public water systems be 0.70 mg/l. To ensure public water
systems are consistently providing a fluoride level that has the greatest benefit, a
recommended fluoride concentration control range had to be established. Following
guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is recommended that
Wisconsin public water systems:
(1) Have an average monthly fluoride concentration of at least 0.70 mg/l;
(2) Have 75% of daily samples within the recommended control range of 0.60 mg/l to
0.80 mg/l;
(3) Submit monthly split samples to the state lab for testing that correlate with a split
tolerance of +/- 0.20 mg/l; and
(4) Continue fluoridation of the public water supply (PWS) unless the system has
natural fluoride levels of 0.60 mg/l or above.
§ 187-78. Changes to requirements or recommended levels.
Should the above-referenced agencies, at any time in the future, effectively adopt changes to
the requirements or recommended levels listed herein, the Village of Holmen Water Utility
shall immediately abide by those new parameters, and this article shall be immediately
amended to reflect such.
