Whenever the Water Commissioner is called upon to repair or replace a meter which has been damaged as set forth in section 13.12.040 of this chapter, the Maintenance Department, at its discretion, may refuse to repair or replace the meter, and disconnect the water service line to the premises, and refuse to reconnect same until a check valve is installed between the water meter and the premises on which water is used, in order to prevent the water from backing up from the premises, and may also require that a safety valve or pop off be placed in service to relieve pressure on the hot water tank or other plumbing fixtures located upon the premises.
