The maximum diameter shall not be larger than the diameter of the water main to which the fire protection service is attached unless said main is circulating, in which case with the approval of the Company the maximum diameter may be larger than the diameter of said circulating main.

           4.  If a water main of adequate size is not available adjacent to the premises to be served, then a new main from the nearest existing main of adequate size will be installed by the Company at the cost of the customer. Such cost shall not be subject to refund.

           10.  There shall be no cross connection between the systems supplied by water through the Company's private fire service and any other source of supply without the specific approval of the Company.
