§ 115-5. Water service.

A. 

Water service may be turned off at the curb stop only by or with the permission of the Water Department Superintendent.

B. 

Water service once turned on by the Superintendent or that is turned on and off by his permission shall be assumed to be on, and a charge for use of the water will be made until such time as the property is metered and permanently served. Such service must be paid for or the service shut off in the same manner as when regular water bills are paid or not paid.

C. 

Permanent occupants of the building may not use the water service until arrangements have been made for metering the property, and the Water Superintendent has been notified that such occupancy is to take place and has the correct name and billing address of the occupant.

D. 

Failure to pay an overdue water bill upon expiration of the payment deadline, as marked on the overdue notice that is sent, allows the Superintendent to discontinue service immediately, and service shall remain discontinued until such time as he has the proof that the bill has been paid. There will be a penalty as defined in § 115-6 each time water service has been discontinued and restored.
