The Commissioner shall assess the amount due for the water service used in violation of the provisions of this section and the cost and expense of cutting off or stopping such water supply and advise the Comptroller of the total amount assessed. No water service shall be turned on until the total amount assessed, and any late charges or other charges authorized by this code are paid, as determined by the Comptroller; or the owner or occupant enters into an approved payment plan with the Department of Finance for said amounts determined by the Comptroller.
