No person, whether owner or occupant, or in possession, charge or control of any building, structure or premises into which water service is introduced or to which water is supplied through the Chicago Waterworks System, shall be allowed to supply other persons or families, or to supply any water from such building or premises to a building, structure or premises other than the one for which such water service is introduced, unless a permit from the Commissioner shall first have been secured.
If any person, either as owner or occupant, or in possession, charge or control of any such building, structure or premises, violates any of the provisions of this section, the supply of water to the building, structure or premises of such person shall be shut off and stopped forthwith, and any amount which shall have been paid for water service shall be forfeited to the City. Where the water service shall be cut off for a violation of the provisions of this section, it shall not be turned on again until either: (1) there shall have been paid to the City such sum of money as the Commissioner shall deem properly due for the amount of water furnished or used in violation of the provisions of this section, and until the expense for cutting off the water service on account of such violation shall have been paid; or (2) the owner or occupant enters into an approved payment plan with the Department of Finance for said amounts.
