Water service shall be discontinued after 24-hours’ notice or any violation unless the violation shall cease voluntarily.
(b) When service is discontinued pursuant to the provisions of this section, service shall not be reinstituted unless and until the Village Administrator, upon recommendation of the Water Plant Operator, determines that the risk to the village water supply has been alleviated. The customer shall reimburse the village for all costs incurred to discontinue and reestablish service before service is reinstituted.
(2) Appeal. The customers shall have a right to appeal to the Village Board of Trustees, upon submitting a written notice of appeal to the Village Administrator within five days after receiving notice of any violation and intent to discontinue service. The appellant will be notified by the Village Administrator of the time and place for the hearing of the appeal.
