The Director of Service reserves the right, through his or her authorized agents, to enter premises to which water service extends, at all reasonable hours, for the purpose of reading, repairing, installing, removing or inspecting meters or for any other purpose which the Director may deem necessary in properly safeguarding the interests of the Director and the consumer. When such access is refused, the water shall be immediately turned off and service shall not be restored until access to the premises is granted and a charge, as set forth in Appendix A of Chapter 1464 of the Codified Ordinances, is paid by the consumer or owner of the property, such charge defined as a water turn-on fee/water shut-off fee.
