The Superintendent shall also attempt to notify the industrial user or other person causing the emergency and request their assistance in abating same. Following consultation with the aforementioned officials of the City, or in their absence such elected officials of the City as may be available, the Superintendent shall temporarily terminate the service of such user or users as are necessary to abate the condition when such action appears reasonably necessary.
