(a) The Director of Public Service may temporarily disrupt the water supply or request that any user limit their use of water at any premises, when it is necessary, in the opinion of the Director, in order to prevent or abate an imminent or substantial threat to the water system or to the health, safety or welfare of the public or to perform maintenance, repairs or improvements to the system. Any person notified of such order affecting a premises under his control shall immediately comply with the order. In the event of a person's failure to immediately comply voluntarily with the order, the director may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or abate the imminent or substantial threat to the water system or to the health, safety or welfare of the public. Water service shall be restored once the imminent or substantial threat has passed. The City shall not be liable for damages resulting from interruptions in service.
(b) The City does not guarantee any fixed pressure or a continuous supply of water; these being subject to the varying conditions which may arise in the operation and maintenance of the water supply. Consumers whose operations require a continuous supply of water or definite pressures should provide against interruption by the installation of tanks or other auxiliary supplies or pressure regulation sufficient to carry them over a period of interruption.
