The city shall maintain and repair, at its expense, any meter that has become unserviceable through ordinary wear and tear and shall replace it if necessary. Where repair or replacement is made necessary by act or neglect of the owner or occupant of the premises it serves, any city expense caused thereby, shall be charged against and collected from the water consumer, and water service may be discontinued until the cause is corrected and the amount charged is paid.
