Any person, firm, corporation, or public agency taking possession of premises and using water from an active service connection without first having made application to the city for water service shall be liable for the water delivered from the date of the last recorded meter reading. If the meter is found inoperative, the quantity consumed will be estimated. If proper application for water service is not made upon notification to do so by the city and if accumulated bills for service are not paid immediately, the service shall be discontinued by the department without further notice.
