A. All damages or injury to the lines, meters or other materials of the town on or near the consumer's premises caused by any act or neglect of the consumer shall, in the discretion of the town, be repaired by and at the expense of the consumer, and the consumer shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, which may arise or accrue to the town through its efforts to repair the damage to the lines, meters or to other equipment of the department, or collect such costs from the consumer.
B. The town shall not be liable for any damage to a water service user by reason or stoppage or interruption of his or her water supply service caused by fires, scarcity of water, accidents to the water system or its mains, or which occurs as the result of maintenance and extension operations, or from any other unavoidable cause.
