Services for fire protection must be metered and fitted with such fixtures only as are needed for fire protection and entirely disconnected from those used for other purposes. Persons having such services will be charged not less than the minimum rate charged for metered services where such services are used for other than fire purposes. No charge shall be made for water used in extinguishing fires if the owner or occupant of premises where such fire occurs gives written notice to the water department within 30 days from the time of such fire. The entire cost of such fire service connection from the town’s main to the connection with the premises served shall be at the expense of the applicant, who shall deposit the estimated cost thereof at the time of making application therefor. Such service connection after installed shall be the property of the town. In no case shall any tap be made upon any pipe used for fire service purposes, or any tank connected therewith, nor shall the use of any water be permitted through any pipes, tank or other fixtures therewith connected except the extinguishing of fire on the premises.
