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.
