(A) The city shall have the right to shut off the supply of water whenever it is necessary to make repairs, improvements, enforce rules, or for any notice as circumstances allow will be given to consumers, but in emergencies, the water may be shut off without notice. All hot water faucets shall be left open during any shutoff to prevent damage to plumbing. Such necessary work will be done as rapidly as may be practical and whenever feasible at such times as will cause the least inconvenience. The city shall not be held responsible for or liable because of any supply shutoff for any direct or resultant damages to any person, company, or consumer or to any pipe, fixtures, or plumbing.
(B) Water for steam boilers, gas engines, ice plants, or other industrial use shall not be furnished by direct pressure from the mains, but only to tanks holding ample reserve supply. Should any equipment be supplied direct from mains, then, in case of any shutoff of water, the city will not be held responsible or liable for any direct or resulting damage because of interrupted supply, insufficient pressure, or otherwise.
(C) Whenever water mains, pipes, and service connections are taken up, shut off, or interfered with by reason of any city street improvements, the city will endeavor to maintain service so far as reasonably possible but will not be directly or indirectly liable for any interruption, poor pressure, or damage of any kind either to consumers adjacent or to other consumers affected thereby.
