[Amended 3-21-2016 by L.L. No. 2-2016]
Notice, in writing delivered to the office of the Village Clerk at least 10 days before the quarterly billing date, shall be required in all cases of applications for discontinuance of water service; otherwise, the consumer shall be liable for the minimum charge for the following 1/4 year.
In case a building is to be closed or become vacant, notice thereof shall be given the Village in order that meter may be read and curb cock closed. The meter shall be removed and stored by the Village. Where such notice is not given and pipes burst from freezing or other cause or where the meter is damaged or destroyed by any act of commission or omission of the owner, the value of the water lost by reason thereof as estimated by the Village, together with the cost of repair of said meter and pipes, together with the additional sum set forth in § 141-34, shall be paid prior to the installation of a new meter in said building.
The Village may discontinue water service and shut off the supply from any premises the owner or occupant of which has failed to comply with the provisions of any ordinance relating to the character or construction and maintenance of pipes and connections and the use of water. Such service will not be resumed until the cause for such discontinuance is removed and the expense of shutting off and turning on the water, if any, is paid to the Village Clerk.
No person shall close or interfere with any curb cock except by direction of the Village, nor shall it be turned on without the permission of the Village.
