(a) The Director of Public Utilities of the City of Heath, in conjunction with and aided by the Director of Public Service of the City of Newark, may declare an emergency situation to exist for which mutual water aid would be expedient, for any period of time up to fourteen days; if such emergency period runs for more than fourteen days, but less than thirty days, the Mayors of the respective communities shall, acting in conjunction, determine that the emergency continues to exist, and shall on that basis allow emergency aid to continue. After a period of thirty days, action by the Council of the City of Heath and the Council of the City of Newark shall be required to determine if the situation is, as continuing, a true emergency, for which emergency water aid may be continued.
(b) In any event, the rate of pay for such service shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per day, paid by the City receiving such emergency water aid to the City supplying such water, and each City shall, and the City of Heath does hereby agree, to hold the City of Newark harmless for any and all damage which may result from any pressure differential between the water system of the City of Health and the water system of the City of Newark.
