This action shall be followed by written notification of the cause of disconnection.
(2) Immediate disconnection without notice to any party can be effected to prevent actual or anticipated contamination or pollution of the public water supply, provided, in the reasonable opinion of the Superintendent or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the action is required to prevent actual or potential contamination or pollution of the public water supply.
(B) Neither the public water supply, the Superintendent or any city agents or assigns shall be liable to any customer for any injury, damages or lost revenues which may result from termination of the custom's water supply in accordance with the terms of this subchapter, whether or not the termination was with or without notice.
(C) Water service to the property shall not be restored until the offending conditions have been eliminated or corrected in compliance with the provisions of this subchapter and until a reconnection fee of $50 is paid to the city.
