(A) Water necessary for municipal uses, such as the flushing of streets and sewers, street sweepers and dust control may be obtained from fire hydrants by authorized employees of the city. The use of water shall not be construed to include or authorize its use in connection with paving, sewer or other construction of public improvements performed by private contractors.

(B) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to use water from any part of the waterworks system of the city without proper permit or other authority therefor from the Water Department. It shall further be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, other than an authorized representative of the city, to shut off or turn on water from any part of the city's waterworks system, including fire hydrants; provided, however, that nothing in this section contained shall be construed as prohibiting plumbers duly licensed under the ordinances of the city from turning on or shutting off water service if such is necessary in the course of the work in which they are engaged.
