(a) Water may at any time be shut off without notice for repairs, extensions, or other necessary purposes. The City will not be liable to the consumer for any loss or damage which may be caused by the failure of the City to deliver water. Whenever feasible, the City shall give public notice of shutoffs, but shall not be bound to do so.

(b) Failure to pay the water charge when due gives the City the right to discontinue water and sewer service to any residence after twenty-one (21) days of notice of an unpaid bill. The cost to turn the water off and to turn the water back on will be paid for by the owner as per the regulations and rates. Discontinuance of service in no way affects the City’s right to enforce collection of past due water charges.
