(A) The Public Works Superintendent is hereby authorized and directed to discontinue, after reasonable notice to the occupant thereof, the water service to any property wherein any connection in violation of the provisions of this public works title is known to exist, and to take such other precautionary measures as he or she may deem necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water supply distribution mains. Water service to such property shall not be restored until such conditions have been eliminated or corrected in compliance with the provisions of this public works title and until a reconnection fee of $25 is paid to the Village Treasurer.
(B) Immediate disconnection with verbal notice can be effected when the Public Works Superintendent is assured that imminent danger of harmful contamination of the public water supply system exists. Such action shall be followed by written notification of the cause of disconnection. Immediate disconnection without notice to any party can be effected to prevent actual or anticipated contamination or pollution of the public water supply; provided that, in the reasonable opinion of the Public Works Superintendent or the state’s Environmental Protection Agency, such action is required to prevent actual or potential contamination or pollution of the public water supply.
(C) The public water supply, the Public Works Superintendent or the agents or assigns shall not be liable to any customer for any injury, damages or lost revenues which may result from termination of the customer’s water supply in accordance with the terms of this public works title, whether or not said termination was with or without notice.
