(A) The rules, regulations and water rates named in this subchapter shall be considered a part of the contract with every person, company or corporation who is supplied with water through the water system of the city; and every person, company or corporation by taking water shall be considered as expressing his or her or their assent to be bound thereby.
(Prior Code, § 500.05)
(B) (1) Whenever any of the rules and regulations or such orders as the city may hereafter adopt, are violated, the water shall be shut off from the building or place of the violation, (even though two or more parties are using water through the same pipe), and shall not be let on again, except by order of the Utilities Commission or its authorized agent and, upon payment of all arrears of rent, the expense of shutting it off and putting it on (for which the charge of $50 will be made), and such other terms as the Utilities Commission may determine, and a satisfactory understanding with the party that no further cause for non-compliance shall arise. The right is reserved by the Utilities Commission to change the rules, regulations, from time to time, as they may deem advisable, and to the Utilities Commission to make special rates and contracts in all proper cases.
(2) It shall be the duty of the Superintendent or authorized agent of the city to report to the Utilities Commission all cases of leakage, waste or unnecessary profusion in the use of water, and each and every violation of any ordinance of the city relative to the waterworks thereof, which may come to his or her knowledge or notice; and the Superintendent or authorized agent of the city shall each enforce the observance of this division (B) so far as they or any of them have authority under the ordinances of the city.
