(a) The Village shall have the right to shut off the water for repairs, extensions, tests, improvement or whenever necessary and will not be responsible or held liable for any accidents or damage which may result from interruption of service. Whenever possible and as time permits, all customers will be notified prior to such temporary discontinuance of service.
(b) The Village shall maintain all lines on dedicated easements or rights of way. No maintenance will be done on water mains that do not lie within easements or dedicated rights of way. These lines shall be maintained by the owner. Service shall be discontinued until repairs have been completed to the satisfaction of the Village.
(c) If a break or leak occurs in any service line between the main line and the meter pit and/or curb stop, the Village will repair this at its own expense as soon as possible. The owner will be required to pay all costs of repair to a service line on his property (meter pit to a structure). The Village shall not be responsible for breakage of pipes or valves occurring during removal or installation of meters where such breakage is due to old or faulty plumbing.
(d) All charges for repairs to meters damaged by freezing or any other cause must be paid when the next bill comes due.
(e) Damage to water meters resulting from improper connections between boilers and furnaces or other heaters shall be the responsibility of the consumer and the cost of repairs will be charged to the owner.
(f) No extensions, alterations, or repairs shall be made to any water pipes or fixtures between meter pit and main line except by a plumber and with the approval of the Village.
