[Amended 12-5-2016 by L.L. No. 17-2016; 7-5-2022 by L.L. No. 07-2022]
In order to determine compliance with these rules and regulations, the Superintendent of Water and/or the City Building Inspector, and/or any other official appointed by the City Council to enforce these rules and regulations (hereinafter "enforcement officer") shall have full power to enter the premises of any property at all reasonable hours to install a meter, read a meter and examine the fixtures, plumbing and manner of using water. If the occupant is not present or refuses to grant the City access to the water meter, the City shall assess a surcharge penalty to the property owner for the failure to provide access as set forth in § 219-15C.
The City reserves the right to limit the amount of water furnished to any property should circumstances seem to warrant such action pursuant to Chapter 24, Drought Emergency Plan, although no limit may be stated in the application or permit for use; or said City may entirely shut off the water supply used for any manufacturing purposes, or for furnishing power, or for lawn sprinkling, car washing, outside use or as otherwise adopted by regulation of the City Council at any time, by giving reasonable notice of such intended action; or in the case of making or constructing new work or in making repairs or in any emergency, the right is reserved to shut off the water from any property without notice for as long a period as may be necessary.
The City shall not be liable for any damage or loss of any nature
or kind to property or persons which may arise from or be caused by
any change, diminution in or increase of the water pressure from any
cause, except in cases of gross negligence by the City of Beacon which
result in the lack of a reasonable standard of water pressure.
The right is reserved to amend this chapter and make contracts
in all proper cases, or to turn off the water supply without notice
in case of extensions, repairs or other necessity, without liability
for damages for lack of water or for any damage which may result from
the turning off of the water supply.
Whenever one or more of the provisions of this chapter is/are violated, the water supply may, in the discretion of the City, be shut off and the meter removed pursuant to § 219-27.
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this
chapter shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation pursuant
to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable by a fine not
exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days,
or both such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of an offense
shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate
and distinct violation.
