(1) In no case shall any individual or plumber turn on the water supply when the supply has been turned off for nonpayment of amounts owing on the customer's account or for any other cause referenced in chapter 27. All water service that has been turned off by the water utility shall be turned on again solely by the water utility.
(2) If the utility has removed the customer's meter to prevent illegal use of water after the customer's account had been terminated for delinquency or any other cause, the customer shall pay thirty-two dollars and ninety-five cents ($32.95) to have the meter reinstalled, in addition to any other outstanding balance on the customer's account, before the utility restores water service to the customer.
