The Commissioner of Water may make such abatement as seems to him or her right and proper in the case of excess consumption because of a leak or other event, where it does not appear that the owner or user could be reasonably expected to know of or prevent the leak or event and to have had a fair chance to repair the same. The final billed amount after reduction granted by the Commissioner shall not be less than the average consumption for the property prior to the leak or other event, unless otherwise determined by the Commissioner with the approval of the Director of Law.
The authority vested in the Commissioner to make abatement shall be without prejudice to and not in derogation of the power and authority of the Director of Law conferred by Section 125.03.
