The municipality, through its Water Department, shall furnish water to persons within its corporate limits whose premises abut a street or alley in which a commercial main now is or may hereafter be laid. The municipality may furnish water to persons within its corporate limits whose premises do not abut a street or alley in which a municipal commercial main is now or may hereafter be laid and may also furnish water to persons whose premises are situated outside the corporate limits of the municipality, as and when, according to law, the governing body may see fit to do so. The rules, regulations and water rates as may be established by the governing body shall be considered a part of every application hereafter made for water service and shall be considered a part of the contract between every consumer now or hereafter served. Without further formality, the making of application on the part of any applicant or the use or consumption of water service by any present consumer thereof and the furnishing of water service to such consumer shall constitute a contract between the consumer and the municipality, to which contract both parties are bound. If the consumer shall violate any of the provisions of the contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the governing body may hereafter adopt, the governing body or its designated agent may cut off or disconnect the water service from the building or premises or place of such violation. No further connection for water service to such building, premises or place shall again be made except by order of the governing body or its designated agent.
