It shall be unlawful for any person to do any of the following:
(A) To discharge or cause to be discharged any substance into any public water line without written permission from the water superintendent or city engineer.
(B) To allow a public water source to be connected directly to or an opening from such source to come in contact with any polluted waters or substances that could cause the water source to become polluted.
(C) To waste water or allow it to be wasted by imperfect stops, valves, leaky joints or pipes or allow water to wastefully run from any source, whether he is paying for such wasted water or not. (Ord. 1758, 3-15-1976; amd. 1980)
(D) To use water from a public water line unless he has made application therefor, paid all required fees and charges, and signed an agreement with the city to pay all water, sanitation and wastewater user charges when due, and to be governed by all rules and regulations as provided herein 2 .
If a water user fails to pay the water, sanitation or wastewater user charges within thirty (30) days after due, the city shall have the power to turn off the water at said premises and assess a service charge of ten dollars ($10.00) against the delinquent account. Said user and his guarantor shall not receive water service at said premises or elsewhere until all delinquent user charges and service charges have been paid and he has made a new application therefor in accordance with the provisions herein.
If the city has found it necessary to turn off water as provided above, two (2) or more times due to nonpayment of user charges by the same user, it shall have the power to require that the user deposit with the city a sum of money equal to the estimated user charges for a three (3) month period as a guarantee that said user charge will be paid when due. In the event a water user, owner or guarantor has a deposit and defaults in the payment of the water, sanitation or wastewater user charges or service charges as required herein, the deposit or as much thereof as may be necessary shall be applied upon the delinquent charges and the balance thereof refunded to said user and the water service shall not be turned on again until said user again meets the requirements as above provided. (Ord. 2496, 7-10-1995)
