(A) Any failure of a customer to comply with the requirements of a declared water shortage emergency shall be reported to any official of the city and shall be immediately investigated by the officer in responsible charge or his designated agent. If noncompliance is found to exist, the officer in responsible charge shall request immediate compliance by the customer. Should the customer fail or refuse to immediately comply with the officer in responsible charge’s request, the officer in responsible charge shall immediately discontinue water service to the customer in question.
(B) Any customer whose service is disconnected because of failure to comply with the requirements of a declared water shortage emergency shall have the right, after the first such disconnection, to have service reinstated on payment to the city of its customary reconnection charge and on execution of a written statement that he will comply with the requirements of the declared emergency. If service is disconnected because of a subsequent failure to comply, the customer shall have the right to reinstatement of service only after approval of the special water and sewer committee and subject to the terms and conditions the committee shall impose. The special water and sewer committee shall consist of the water and sewer committee chairman of the city and two water customers appointed by the Mayor. The committee may refuse to reinstate service.
