(A) Under no circumstances will the continuance or discontinuance of water service be used as a means of forcing an occupant of any premises to surrender possession thereof.
(B) Where water service is being furnished to an occupant of premises under a contract not in the occupant’s name, the Department reserves the right to impose the following conditions on the right of the customer to discontinue service under such a contract. Written notice of the customer’s desire for such service to be discontinued may be required; and the Department shall have the right to continue such service for a period not to exceed ten days after receipt of such written notice, during which time the customer will be responsible to the Department for all charges for such service. If the Department should continue service after such ten-day period subsequent to the receipt of the customer’s written notice to discontinue service, the customer shall not be responsible to the Department for charges for any service furnished after the expiration of such ten-day period.
