A. It shall be unlawful for any water user to:
1. Waste water;
2. Allow it to be wasted by open stops, taps, valves or leaky pipes, or to allow tanks or water troughs to leak or overflow;
3. Wastefully run water from hydrants, faucets or stops, or through basins, water closets, urinals, sinks or other apparatus;
4. Use the water for purposes other than for those which he has applied or to use water in violation of the rules and regulations for controlling the water supply.
B. Users of water from the culinary water system shall not permit water to continue to run wastefully and without due efforts to conserve water. If, in the judgment of the superintendent, a user of culinary water engages in practices which result in the needless waste of water and continues to do so after the notice to discontinue has been given, the superintendent, or any officer, may refer the matter to the town council.
C. The town council may thereupon consider terminating the right of the individual to use culinary water. If it elects to consider the matter of termination, it shall give notice to the water user of the intention to terminate his water connection at least five (5) days prior to the meeting of the town council at which termination of water service is to be considered. The notice shall inform him of the time and place of the meeting and of the charges which lead to the consideration of the termination.
D. A water user whose right to utilize culinary water is being reviewed shall have opportunity to appear, with or without counsel, and present his reasons why his water service should not be discontinued.
E. After such hearing, the town council shall make a determination. If the determination is to discontinue the wasteful water user's service connection, it shall notify him of the decision, necessary corrections and time frame to make those corrections, and a required inspection by the town council, at which point the council will decide whether to continue or terminate water user's connection. All disconnect and reconnect fees will apply. (Ord. 09-03, 10-7-2009)
