(A) It shall be the responsibility of the city to maintain the service pipe from the water main up to and including the curb stop (shut-off valve) within its public right of way. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the water line from the curb stop (shut-off valve) into the house or building. In case of failure upon the part of any consumer or owner to repair any leak occurring in his or her service pipe within 24 hours after oral or written notice has been given the owner or occupant of the premises, the water will be shut off and will not be turned on until a reconnection fee has been paid and the water service has been repaired. When the waste of water is great, or when damage is likely to result from the leak, the water will be turned off if the repair is not proceeded with immediately.
(B) No claim may be made against the city because of any breaking of any water main, service pipe, or fixture or for any other interruption of supply.
