Subd. 1. Maintenance and repair. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the service pipe from the curb box into the structure. In the case of failure upon the part of the property owner to repair any leak occurring in his pipe within 24 hours after verbal or written notice thereof, the water will be shut off and will not be turned on until the service charge, as established by ordinance of the Council, has been paid and the leak repaired. When the waste of water is great, or when damage is likely to result from the leak, water may be turned off immediately pending repairs.
Subd. 2. Abandoned service installations. All service installations that have not been used for one year, or for any reason have become useless for further service, shall be shut off at the curb stop. Any expense of the city shall be charged to the property and, if not paid within 30 days, shall be treated as a delinquent account pursuant to this chapter.
