§ 700.090. Interruption In Supply.

A. 

The Water Department may at any time shut off the water in the mains in case of accident, for the purpose of making connections, alterations, repairs, changes, or for other reasons and may restrict the use of the water supply to reserve sufficient supply for public fire service or other emergencies whenever the public welfare may require it. The Water Department may restrict or regulate the quantity of water used by the customers in case of scarcity or whenever an emergency affecting public health and welfare may require such restrictions.

B. 

It is the intention of the Water Department to give advanced notice of any work which will require interruption of the water service. Such notice will be considered a courtesy and not a requirement on the part of the Water Department. Property owners shall so regulate their installations connected with the water supply system that damage will not occur if the water is shut off without notice.

C. 

The Water Department will undertake to use reasonable care and diligence in order to prevent and avoid interruptions and fluctuations in the service, but it cannot and does not guarantee that such will not occur.
