The county does not guarantee the quality, quantity, or pressure of its water supply. It is made a portion of the terms upon which the county furnishes water to consumers that the county shall in no case be liable to any consumer for any defect on quality or any deficiency in quantity or pressure; that the county shall not be liable to any consumer for damages resulting from the complete or partial cutting-off of water; and no deduction shall be made from any water bill by reason of any such defect or deficiency. In every case where practicable, adequate notice by the best means available shall be given when the water is to be cut off from any portion of a water system controlled by the county. No county employee shall take responsibility for telling a property owner or occupant how best to care for his or her boiler, heater, or other equipment which is affected by the discontinuance, either temporary or permanent, or his or her water supply. The owner or occupant shall be entirely responsible for his or her equipment and shall hold the county in no way responsible for damage thereof. The county reserves the right to make adjustments to water bills when deemed appropriate.
