3. Lawn watering, sprinkling, and irrigation. All lawn sprinkler systems and irrigation systems connected to the municipal water system, whether such systems are aboveground or underground, <br />shall require a permit for connection and shall be installed in accordance with the state plumbing code. To conserve water, all lawn sprinkler systems and irrigation systems which are automatic or are equipped to operate automatically and which are connected to the municipal water system, shall be equipped with a rain-detection device such to prevent the system from operating when it rains (per M.S.A. § 103G.298). All lawn sprinkler systems and irrigation systems connected to the municipal water system shall be constructed and operated to prevent water waste resulting from inefficient landscape irrigation by prohibiting runoff, low head drainage, over spray, or other similar conditions where water flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, walks, roadways, or structures. 4. Enforcement. Failure to comply with restrictions or prohibitions imposed under this section shall result in a surcharge for water service for each violation in an amount determined by resolution of <br />the city council, which shall be added to the water bill for the property on which such violation occurs. Each day of violation shall be deemed a separate violation. Continued violation shall be cause for discontinuing water service. <br />
