The City reserves the right to discontinue gas service to any premises on account of nonpayment of any charges, or where the owner or tenant of such premises has been found guilty of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. Where such service is discontinued and the gas is shut off or stopped, whether by the City or at the request of the property owner, the gas shall not again be turned on or supplied to such premises until all such delinquent charges due the City have been paid and there is no existing default or violation of any of the provisions of the several sections of this chapter. A written application shall be filed with the Clerk for the renewal of such service, which application shall be accompanied by a fee pursuant to title 13, "Schedule Of Fees", of this Code to pay for the shutting off and turning on of the gas service. No customer shall be permitted to use the stopcock of the service connection for shutting off gas while making extensions, additions, or repairs to the pipe or equipment on the premises. Such shutoff or discontinuance or interruption of service will be made only by the City or its properly authorized employees. (Ord. 16/2017, 6-5-2017)
