(a) Whenever the Director shall find that because of illegal or improper installation,
alteration, improper operations, or lack of maintenance, any system connected to city
water will, when operated, cause use of city water in excess of 0.15 gallons per minute
per ton of capacity for systems with conservation devices, or 1.5 gallons per minute
per ton of capacity for systems described in subsection (a) (1) of Section 6-603, or will cause waste water therefrom to be discharged in violation of any provision
of this Code, the Director shall give notice in writing to correct the deficiency.
The notice shall identify the system and specify the correction or corrections required,
and shall contain a statement that if the deficiency is not corrected or the system
disconnected from city water within fifteen days from the date of service of such
notice, the Director will order that city water service to the premises on which such
system is located be discontinued forthwith. The notice shall be directed to and served
upon the person in whose name water service to the premises is then being furnished,
as shown by the accounting records of the city, or, if such service is in the names
of more than one person, to either or any of such persons. A copy of such notice shall
also be served upon each person having possession as tenant or otherwise, of all or
any part of the premises and who receives city water service by the same service connection
which supplies the system described in the notice.
(b) If, upon the expiration of fifteen days from the date of service of the notice,
the system has not been corrected as specified in the notice or disconnected from
city water, the Director shall order the city water service to the premises on which
such system is maintained to be discontinued; provided, that the Director may for
good cause extend the time for making any required correction for not to exceed an
additional thirty days.
(c) No premises which have been disconnected from city water service by order of the
Director pursuant to subsection (b) hereof shall be reconnected until the system has
been corrected as specified in the notice or disconnected from city water, and until
all reconnection charges required by this chapter have been paid. (Added Ord. 4890,
1956; Rep. and Added Ord. 6436, 1964; Based on former Sec. 14-208).
