Where two or or more parties^ or premises are supplied from the same ser- vice pipe, the failure on the part of either of said parties to comply with this ordinance shall warrant the superintendent in withholding a supply of water through said service pipe un- til a separate service pipe with stop-cock and key box is put in for each user of water. 786. Pipes to be kept in good repair. All water takers shall keep their service pipes, connections and other appar- atus in good repair and protected from frost at their own ex- pense ; but no person, except under the direction of the super- intendent, shall be allowed to dig into the street or sidewalk for the purpose of laying, removing or repairing any service pipe. 787.
