§ 4-2-13. Discontinuance of water supply for failure to make connection within prescribed time.

(a)

In addition to the penalties provided by this code for violation thereof, if at the expiration of the 90-day interval provided for in section 4-2-12, the connection has not been made in accordance with the requirements of this code, the water supply shall be discontinued. In the notice given to the owner or tenant in accordance with the provisions of this article, it shall be expressly stated that if the sewer connection is not made within the specified 90 days, then the water services to the premises will be discontinued.

(b)

The public utilities director and treasurer acting together may, in exceptional circumstances in which there has been a failure to establish the connection within the required 90 days, withhold action in discontinuing the water supply upon the condition, however, that the owner or tenant of the property in question shall have made application for the necessary permit, made payment of the fee, and also established to the satisfaction of the city engineer and treasurer that a bona fide contract has been made with an authorized plumber to do all work necessary to complete the connection within not less than 30 days thereafter.
