(A) The town’s Water Utility is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of this subchapter exists, and to take such other precautionary measures deemed necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water system. Water service shall be discontinued only after reasonable notice is served on the owner, lessee or occupants of the property or premises where a violation is found or suspected to exist. Water service to such property shall not be restored until the cross-connection(s) has been eliminated in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.
(Prior Code, § 8:2:05)
(B) If it is deemed by the town’s Water Utility that a cross-connection or an emergency endangers public health, safety or welfare and requires immediate action, and a written finding to that effect is fifed with the Clerk-Treasurer of the town and delivered to the consumer’s premises, service may be immediately discontinued. The consumer shall have an opportunity for a hearing within ten days of such emergency discontinuance, and said hearing shall be before the Superintendent of the town’s Water Utility. Within ten days from the date of the hearing before the Superintendent of the town’s Water Utility, the consumer may request a hearing before the Town Council for the purpose of reviewing the decision of the Superintendent. The Town Council’s decision shall be final.
