(A) The city shall have the right to shut off the supply of water whenever it is necessary to make repairs, improvements, enforce the provisions of this chapter and other ordinances or regulations or for any operating reason. In all cases, if possible, reasonable notice as circumstances allow will be given to consumers, but in emergencies the water may be shut off without notice. All hot water faucets shall be left open during any shutoff to prevent damage to plumbing. Such necessary work will be done as rapidly as practicable and whenever feasible at such times as will cause the least inconvenience.
(B) Whenever any water mains, pipes and service connections are taken up, shut off or interfered with by reason of any street improvements, the city will endeavor to maintain service so far as reasonably possible.
