Owners and occupants of premises connected directly or indirectly with the water system
shall be responsible for all damages to service connections, meters and equipment
occasioned thereto by the negligence of such owners and occupants and their agents,
servants and employees. The Director shall investigate and determine the responsibility
for damages to such connections, meters and equipment; shall make or cause to be made
necessary renewals or repairs thereto; and shall collect the cost of them from owners
or occupants responsible therefor. If such cost and expense are not paid within 30
days after presentation of a bill therefor, the Director shall cause the supply of
water to be stopped, and the service stopped shall not thereafter be furnished to
such premises for such owner or occupant until such cost and expense shall have been
paid.
