(A) Each customer shall be entitled to purchase from the city, pursuant to such agreements as may from time to time be provided and required by the city, such water as the customer may desire, subject, however, to the provisions of this chapter and to such further rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the city. However, should a customer sell or dispose of a portion of his property or subdivide the same, he, or the new owner of each such new tract, may not demand water and taps without paying connection fees for each such tract to be served.
(B) In the event that the total water supply shall be insufficient to meet all of the needs of the cutomers, or in the event that there is a shortage of water, the city or its manager may prorate the water available among the various customers, on such basis as is deemed equitable by the city or its manager, and may also prescribe a schedule of hours covering use of water and require adherence thereto or prohibit the use of water for specified purposes, for such appropriate period of time as may be necessary under the circumstances.
