WHEREAS, Resolution No. 1390 was adopted by the City Council of
the City of Downey on the 23rd day of June, 1964; and
WHEREAS, it has been found that certain provisions of said
Resolution No. 1390 should be revised in order to provide more equitable
charges for service;
NOW, THEREFORE, BEFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 1 of Resolution No. 1990 shall be amended by
deleting the following sentence:
"For each business over one, using the same meter, add
$3.00 to minimum ".
SECTION 2. Section 7 of said Resolution No. 1390 shall be amended to
read as follows:
"Section 7. Water for construction and miscellaneous uses shall
normally be furnished through a temporary service connection. Applicant
shall designate the period of time and purpose for which water is to be
used. The Water Division may discontinue the supply and remove its
equipment at the expiration of the period so designated. Water Supply
is subject to limitations as to rate of flow and time of use.
"Water Division will initially install all equipment necessary to
furnish a temporary water supply and upon payment of the charges pro-
vided herein, will move equipment for any subsequent changes in location,
as requested by applicant, except when the applicant is being furnished
water on a flat rate basis, and is supplying his own eddy valve.
"At time of application for service, applicants who are requesting
City equipment to be installed, shall make a deposit of $100.00 as
security against loss or damage to equipment, and to secure payment of
Division charges, for furnishing, installation, removal, inspection, and
rental of equipment used.
"If applicant requires more than one temporary service connection,
requiring City equipment during the time his deposit is in effect, only
" that sum of money necessary to make up any reduction in his original
$100 deposit will be required. In case of non - return of City equipment,
or damage beyond repair, applicant shall pay a charge of $250 for replace-
ment of water meter and $50 for replacement of eddy valve.
"In addition to the regular domestic rate for water usage, as specified
in Section 1 of Resolution No. 1390, or a minimum charge of $15.00 for each
month, applicant for temporary service from a fire hydrant shall pay the
following charges:
1. A charge of $15.00 for the first installation on each job
•—. or project, and $5.00 for all subsequent installations on
the same job or project, to cover service charges, and the
cost of installing and removing equipment to furnish and
measure the temporary water supply.

2. Any charges incurred by the Water Division for repairing
equipment furnished by the Water Division, if such equip -
ment is damaged through carelessness, negligence, or abuse
by the applicant.
Such charges, as outlined above, may be deducted from the deposit.
"Where it is impractical to furnish such water through a temporary
metered connection, the quantity of water shall be estimated and shall
be charged for at the rate of 30 per 100 cubic feet. Minimum charge
shall be $15.00 per month.
"Service shall be thsed on the use of 100 cubic feet of water for
each of the following construction units or any portion thereof:
a. 1,000 brick laid (one square foot of surface of a 4"
Thick wall requires 6 bricks).
b. For settling filled ground or flooding backfill -
for each 300 cubic feet of fill.
c. For settling each 400 square feet of fine grade.
"For miscellaneous uses where water is drawn from hydrants into portable
tanks, the charge shall be at the rate of $1.00 per 1,000 gallons or
fractions thereof.
"If service is to be metered, a meter and eddy valve shall be furnished
and installed by the City, in accordance with the provisions herein. If
service is to be on a flat rate basis, an eddy valve shall be used at all
times. It shall be at the option of the applicant whether his own or the
City's is used. In all cases, applicant shall control fire hydrant flow
by means of the eddy valve only, and shall not operate the main fire hydrant
valve except in an emergency. Unauthorized use of fire hydrants for any
purpose is a violation of the Downey Municipal Code and violators will be
prosecuted under the provisions of this Code."
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
