§ 51.27 TAMPERING WITH METERS AND STOPCOCKS.
   No person, except an employee of HRW, shall turn the stopcock installed in each meter box nor shall any person construct or have constructed any bypass around any meter except as may be installed and sealed by HRW. The fact that water is cut on to any premises by a person without the prior knowledge of either HRW or the consumer shall not relieve the consumer of liability for such unauthorized use of water. A minimum fee of $100 shall be imposed upon the consumer where such tampering or unauthorized use of water has occurred.
