A. It is the purpose of the city to protect the public health, safety and welfare, as well as property of customers within the city.

The city shall restore such service as soon as an adequate water supply is assured. Efforts will be made to contact customers from the billing information on record if it appears that service will be interrupted for more than 24 hours. B. Emergency public announcements may be made by electronic media, local radio and television whenever a shut off is found to be necessary.
