939.103 QUALITY OF SERVICE.
   The City does not guarantee quality of service. The supply of water to all parties for any purpose whatever is subject to the understanding that the consumer is not guaranteed a fixed or continuous pressure, or a guarantee of the water delivered as to quality, purity, or temperature, the same all being subject to the variable conditions and maintenance of the water system. The City will not be liable for damage due to change(s) in pressure. Customers requiring constant pressure or water quality should take measures to install tanks or advanced treatment to insure desired levels of service.
(Ord. 2017-10. Passed 2-6-17.)
939.104 NOTIFICATION AND LIMIT OF LIABILITY FOR WATER TURN-OFF.
   Before water in a main is turned off, for reasons of repairs or alterations, the City will attempt to notify all customers affected with advance notice of twenty-four hours, if feasible. The City will follow all Ohio and U.S. EPA guidelines for water quality and notices to consumers at all times during the delivery of such services to customers. In the case of leaks or breaks in mains, services, pumping and auxiliary machinery, reservoirs or other water equipment, or other emergency arising, the water may be shut off by the City without notice and without incurring any responsibility or liability for any inconvenience, damage or injury or other losses arising therefrom. Although advanced notice of service interruption, pressure fluctuations or water quality excursions is desirable, such notice cannot be expected in all situations since emergencies and other unforeseeable circumstances often cause such service issues. The City will not be liable for any damages due to failure of notification.
(Ord. 2017-10. Passed 2-6-17.)
939.105 PUMPING ON PRIVATE PREMISES.
   (a)   No pump or device, the purpose and use of which is to increase the volume of the flow and pressure of water in plumbing fixtures, and/or systems of water pipes, located on premises to which there is conveyed a supply of water from the City's water distribution system, shall be installed, connected thereto, and/or operated for the purpose and use aforesaid without the expressed written permission therefor obtained from the EMWSS.
   (b)   All pumps installed on private systems which are directly connected to the EMWSS must be of such type that no abrupt change in pressure in the City’s mains of any magnitude will be produced. All pumping equipment must be approved by Safety Service Director or his/her designee, before installation. Any existing pumping installation causing excessive fluctuations in the Division of Water distribution pipes or excessive reduction in pressure, in the opinion of the EMWSS, must be modified to an acceptable degree in a reasonable time.
