In the event that a customer is disconnected from the water distribution system by
the removal of the water for being delinquent in paying his monthly water bill or
any other utility bill collected by the city, the city shall reinstall water service
only after the customer has paid all back bills in full, and in addition, pays a penalty
to cover the cost of the removal and reinstallation of the meter. Said sum shall cover
both water and gas reconnections if both have been disconnected by reason of the delinquency
of the consumer. The penalty charge shall be in an amount as established by the mayor
and city council from time to time.
