Any violation of this Section by either the permit holder or an unauthorized person shall be deemed a misdemeanor. Any such violations shall be grounds for the City to withhold water service until a separate service connection is put in for each user.

Section 2. MAINTENANCE OF LINES: All users of the water system shall keep their pipe connections and other apparatus in good repair and protected from freezing at their own expense, but no person, except under the direction of the City, shall be allowed to dig into the street, alley, sidewalk or easement beneath which the lateral and trunk water lines run, or to tap into any such lateral or trunk line in any manner.

Section 4. CITY NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OR SHORTAGE: The City shall not be held liable for damages to any water user by reason of a stoppage, blockage, back-up or other interruption of his water service caused by accidents to the works, alterations, additions or repairs to the water system or from other causes that are beyond the reasonable and prudent control of the City.
