The Director of Public Service is hereby authorized to make rules and regulations, with regard to the application of the user charge, pertaining to adjustments for leaks or other causes which the Department of Public Utilities records indicate constitute sufficient reason for an equitable adjustment and a reduction in the charge in order to avoid unduly penalizing an innocent victim of circumstances over which he or she had no control. A record of all such adjustments shall be maintained and furnished monthly to the City and shall not become final until approved by an authorized City official. The City's approval of such adjustment list shall be considered as approved in it entirety unless the authorized City official notifies the Department in writing of his or her disapproval of any or all of the adjustments made. In the event of such disapproval, the adjustments or corrections already made by the Department shall be added back to the customer's account and shall constitute a legal obligation. The Department shall notify the customer of such disapproval and the reasons therefor.
