It shall be the responsibility of the consumer or owner to maintain the service pipe from the water main into the house or building. In case of failure upon the part of any consumer or owner to repair any leak occurring in his or her pipe within 24 hours after verbal or written notice thereof, the water will be shut off by the city and will not be turned on until a fee established in the city fee schedule has been paid to the city and the leak repaired. When the waste of water is great or when the damage is likely to result from the leak, the water may be turned off immediately pending repairs.
