939.512 TAMPERING WITH METER.
   No person except a duly authorized employee of the City shall change or remove or break the seal on any meter after it is installed. Meters and appurtenances attached thereto shall not be tampered with. If the City finds that a meter seal has been broken and/or there is evidence that a meter has been tampered with, water service shall be terminated and the account holder may be cited for "theft of services" with corresponding criminal sanctions. The account holder shall also pay for the estimated quantity of water that has not been registered because of said tampering before water service is reinstated.

939.513 INOPERABLE METER OR REMOTE REGISTER.
   No person shall consume or make use of water or City utility service(s) supplied by the City for any purpose whatsoever, except as hereinafter provided unless such water shall have passed through a meter supplied by the City. Should a meter prove to be inoperable or unreadable, the City shall estimate consumption based upon the previous six months' actual metered consumption, or as determined by the Public Utilities Office with concurrence of the Safety Service Director. However, no more than three estimated bills will be issued based upon estimated consumption, after which service may be terminated until such time that an operable meter is installed and any fees associated with the installation or concurrent delinquency have been paid in full.
