A. Responsibility Of Owners: Each property owner and water user shall be solely responsible for turning the water off at his respective premises to avoid winter freezing on cabins, buildings and premises not used for a year round residence. The village shall not be liable for any damage done to a building, cabin or residence, or on any premises, by reason of failure of the occupant to turn off his water and prevent winter freezing and damage.
B. Meter Reading: Each water meter shall be read monthly during a normal billing cycle provided that during unusual conditions of snow or ice or other unusual conditions that exist beyond the control of the village which prevents the monthly reading of water meters, the village clerk/treasurer shall estimate monthly water bills by using the prior average bills for each such meter unable to be read. If estimates are necessary, no meter shall go unread for more than one (1) month without the specific written approval of the mayor. (1976 Code § 6-1-18; amd. Ord. 329, 11-9-2004; Ord. 398, 4-12-2022)
