(A) For the purpose of this article, whenever the City Manager is to make a decision or interpretation, or whenever reference is made to the fact that the City Manager is to exercise judgment, such decision, interpretation, or judgment shall be in accordance with the provisions of this article, and any other applicable provisions of this code, and state and federal law.
(B) Any consumer aggrieved by any decision or action of the City Manager may request a hearing before the Plumbers Examining Board. Such request must be in writing and shall be delivered to the City Clerk no more than ten days after the decision or action in question. A request for a hearing shall stay all orders and actions until the conclusion of the hearing, except a discontinuation of water service under this article. At such hearing, the action or order of the City Manager shall be presumed to be correct, and the consumer shall have the burden of establishing the contrary. After such hearing, the Plumbers Examining Board may modify or affirm the decision of the City Manager. Any appeal from the decision of the Plumbers Examining Board following such hearing shall be by appropriate proceedings in the District Court. The pendency of such an action in the District Court shall not delay the effective date of the City Manager’s decision or action unless the District Court shall so order.
