(A) (1) Persons taking water from the distribution mains must keep their service lines and fixtures connected therewith in good repair and protected from frost at their own expense, and must prevent all unnecessary waste, or the water will be turned off.
(2) No abatement shall be allowed from the prices charged or agreed upon by reason of the breaking of the service line or curb stop, and no claim shall be made against the city, or any representative of, by reason of the breaking; nor will the city be responsible for the damage growing out of the stoppage of said water or any insufficient supply of the same, or as to quantity or quality of the water. All persons using the water from the city for whatever purpose shall use the same at their own risk.
(B) The property owner or owners shall be responsible for their service line including maintenance and expense of repairs from their curb stop, or master shut-off in the case of more than one building on a service line.
