(A) The village shall have the right to shut off the supply of water whenever it is necessary to make repairs, improvements, enforce rules, or for any operating reason. In all cases, if possible, as reasonable notice as circumstances allow, will be given to consumers, but in emergencies, the water may be shut off without notice. All hot water faucets shall be left open during any shut-off, to prevent damage to plumbing. Such necessary work will be done as rapidly as may be practical and whenever feasible at such times as will cause the least inconvenience. The village shall not be held responsible for liable because of any shut-off of supply for any direct or resultant damages to any person, company or consumer, or to any pipe, fixtures or plumbing.
(B) Water for steam boilers, gas engines, ice plants or other industrial use, will not be furnished by direct pressure from the mains, but only to tanks holding ample reserve supply. Should any equipment be supplied direct from mains, then in case of any shut-off of water, the village will not be held responsible or liable for any direct or resulting damage because of interrupted supply, insufficient pressure, or otherwise.
(C) Whenever watermains, pipes and service connections are taken up, shut off, or interfered with by reason of any village street improvements, the village will endeavor to maintain service so far as reasonably possible, but will not be directly or indirectly liable for any interruption, poor pressure, or damage of any kind to anyone affected thereby.
(D) The village expressly stipulates with all its consumers and other persons that it will not insure or be responsible or liable in any manner for any losses or damages, direct or resultant, by reason of any fire, and all water service furnished shall always be conditional upon acts of God, inevitable accidents, fire, strikes, riots, war, or any other cause not within the reasonable control of the village.
