(A) In case a utility service is abandoned, service will be cut off at the main as required by the city. If the owner neglects or refuses to do so, the city shall cause the work to be done and bill the cost for the work to the customer. Customers wishing to temporarily discontinue the use of utilities shall notify the city to that effect.
(B) The utilities shall then be turned off at the curb shut off box and the charges for utilities shall cease; provided, all utility rents, penalties and other charges under this public works title are paid.
