Unauthorized Use Water System

Any unauthorized use of the Easton Suburban Water Authority's water system is a prohibited activity and is subject to penalties and prosecution. Uses that are not permitted include:

 

Unauthorized use of fire hydrant - Large increases in water flow through fire hydrants may cause discolored water for you and your neighbors. Only Easton Suburban Water Authority employees and authorized fire personnel may use fire hydrants.

 

Unauthorized connection - A per day charge will be levied against any unauthorized individual who connects to the Easton Suburban Water Authority water system.

 

Unauthorized water use - If you use water supplied by the Easton Suburban Water Authority water system in an unauthorized manner for any purpose, including the violation of any drought restrictions adopted by the Authority, ESWA will levy against you a "per day" charge for the use of that water.

 

Unauthorized operation of the Authority's system - If you operate any part of Easton Suburban Water Authority's water system, including altering valves, curb stops, etc., you will be fined on a per incident basis.

 

Unauthorized testing of private fire protection systems - If you need to test a private sprinkler system, standpipes or other fire protection systems, please contact our office at 610-258-7181 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you attempt to test this equipment without permission from us, your testing will be considered an unauthorized water use, subject to a per day charge for the use of that water.

 

In all cases, Easton Suburban Water Authority reserves the right to charge anyone responsible for an unauthorized use of water or Authority facilities with any and all expenses incurred in exposing, correcting and/or litigating violations, as well as damages suffered by the Authority or other parties as a result of the action.
