The town shall have the authority to discontinue or restrict water service to a person or structure, in the event of a violation of the provisions of this subchapter, during a Stage II, III, or IV water shortage period. All applicable penalty fees may be applied in the event of service suspensions. The Town Manager shall give at least two working days’ notice of intent to terminate or restrict. Within the said two days, the person, upon petition to the Town Manager or his or her designee, may be heard as to why such termination should not be enforced. No notice shall be required to discontinue or turn off outside water service which is provided solely for lawn and shrubbery sprinkler systems, swimming pools, or other nonessential uses. When a water service has been discontinued or turned off while any stage of the water shortage is in effect, it shall be unlawful to reactivate such service without the permission of the Town Manager or his or her designee. In the event of continued gross noncompliance with this subchapter, removal of the meter and service will be deemed proper and service will be discontinued. Tap fees and deposits will be forfeited.
