All gas consumers shall be liable for the minimum rate provided by resolution unless and until the consumer shall, by written order, direct the city to shut off the gas, in which case, he or she shall not be liable thereafter for gas service until the gas is turned on again. Gas consumers may request that the gas supply be shut off to their residence or place of business; said shutoff shall be made by the city employees, and the meter to that residence or place of business shall be locked. Thereafter, no charge shall be made for gas usage during the period of time that the gas supply is shut off and the meter locked. Upon request of the gas consumer subsequent to a shutoff, subject to all other charges for gas usage having been brought current and the payment of a $191 reconnect fee, city employees may unlock the meter and turn on the gas supply to said residence or place of business.
