(A) Discontinuation of service. The Village Superintendent of Water is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupant thereof, except as provided in division (A)(2) below, the water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of the provision of this chapter is known to exist, and to take any other precautionary measures as he or she may deem necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water supply distribution mains.
(1) Oral notice of discontinuation. The Superintendent of Water may disconnect a customer on oral notice if there is, in the Superintendent’s opinion, an imminent danger of harmful contamination of the public water supply system. This action shall be followed by written notification of the cause of disconnection.
(2) Discontinuation without notice. There may be immediate disconnection without notice to any party to prevent actual or anticipated contamination or pollution of the public water supply, provided that, in the reasonable opinion of the Superintendent of Water or the State Environmental Protection Agency, such action is required to prevent actual or potential contamination or pollution of the public water supply.
(3) Village not liable for losses due to discontinuation. Neither the public water supply, the Superintendent of Water, or its agents or assigns shall be liable to any customer for any injury, damages, or lost revenues which may result from termination of the customer’s water supply in accordance with the terms of this chapter, whether or not the termination was with or without notice.
(B) Restoration of service. Water service to any property whose water service has been discontinued as provided by division (A) above shall not be restored until the conditions which caused the discontinuation have been eliminated or corrected in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and until a reconnection fee of $50 is paid to the village.
