Ordinance No. 2179 Page 10 of 16 E. If, in the opinion of the city, it is doubtful if satisfactory water service can be given, due to location or elevation of the premises, then the city may require a written release from liability for any damage or inconvenience that may occur by reason of insufficient pressure or inadequate volume of water or intermittent supply. The release shall, without further notice from the city, remain in effect for all consumers taking water through the service, until changes, extensions, or betterments may be made to the distribution system by the city. F. Failure by any person or any consumer to file his or her application containing the information required by this chapter shall constitute a violation of this chapter. No application shall be conclusive as to the matters therein set forth nor shall the filing of any application preclude the city from collecting from the consumer responsible for payment (as provided in this chapter) by appropriate action such sum as is actually due and payable for water service under the provisions of this chapter. Each application shall be subject to verification by the director. Any person who takes possession of and uses water from the water system without having made application for service pursuant to this chapter shall be held liable for the full amount of the service rendered. G. The city may require a written contract with any consumer as a condition precedent to water service in any case where unusual quantities of water or construction of special facilities are or will be required; provided, however, that any such contract shall not modify the rate structure provided in this chapter. H. No rent or other charge shall be paid by the city for any meter or other facilities located on a consumer's premises. All service connections, meters, main extensions and installations paid for by applicants, and all other facilities furnished by the department or the city, whether located wholly or partially on public or private property, shall be and remain the property of the city, and the department shall have the right to repair, replace and maintain the same and the right to remove the same upon discontinuance of service. J. The city shall not be responsible for the installation or maintenance of any water lines beyond the end of its service connection or meter. Section 14.06.040 is amended to read as follows: 14.06.040 Responsibilities of customers.

The customer shall bear all costs incurred to remedy the noncompliance with any such provisions, and shall pay any monetary penalties or fines imposed for the violation of or noncompliance with such provisions. The omissions or acts by the city shall not relieve the customer of
