Chapter 1 Water
18-113 : Discontinuance or refusal of service.
The city shall have the right to discontinue service or to refuse to connect service for a violation of, or a failure to comply with, any of the following:
These rules and regulations.
The customer's application for service.
The customer's contract for service.
Service may also be refused or discontinued for the customer's failure to correct conditions in violation of city or state health laws or regulations. Specifically, if a customer is allowing raw sewage to overflow and fails to correct it, the city shall immediately discontinue water service until such time as the discharge is corrected.
The city may also refuse new service connections, when in the opinion of the city manager or public works director, the connections cause water pressure to drop below 20 pounds per square inch or volume so low as to affect the pressure or volume of existing customers.
Discontinuance of service by the city for any cause stated in these rules and regulations shall not release the customer from liability for service already received or from liability for payments that thereafter become due under other provisions of the customer's contract. (1996 Code, § 13-113)
