8-1E-5: VIOLATIONS; DISCONNECTION OF WATER SERVICE; RECONNECT FEE:
The village administrator or his designee is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupant thereof, the water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of the provisions of this article is known to exist and to take such other precautionary measures as he may deem necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination to the public water supply distribution mains. Water service to such property shall not be restored until such conditions have been eliminated or corrected in compliance with the provisions of this article and until a reconnection fee as set out in section 1-12-3 of this code, under the category "user charges and connection fees", is paid to the village. Immediate disconnection with verbal notice can be effected when the village administrator or his designee or authorized agent is assured that the imminent danger of harmful contamination of the public water supply exists. Such action shall be followed by written notification of the cause of disconnection. Immediate disconnection without notice to any party can be effected to prevent actual or anticipated contamination or pollution of the public water supply; provided, that in the reasonable opinion of the village administrator or his designee or authorized agent, or the IEPA, such action is required to prevent actual or potential contamination or pollution of the public water supply. Written notification shall follow such action within a reasonable time period. Neither the village, the village administrator or his designee, nor its or his agents or assigns, shall be liable to any consumer or water taker for injury, damages or lost revenues which may result from termination of said customer's water supply in accordance with the terms of this article, whether or not said termination was with or without notice.
