A. Supply. Water service shall be provided by the city, which shall exercise reasonable diligence and care to deliver a continuous and sufficient supply of water to customers in adequate pressure and to avoid, insofar as reasonably possible, any shortage or interruption in delivery. The city shall not be liable for damage resulting from interruption in service or lack of service. Temporary suspension of service by the city for improvements and repairs may be necessary. Whenever possible, and when time permits, all customers affected by such suspension will be notified.

B. Quality. The city will exercise reasonable diligence to supply safe and potable water at all times.

C. Ownership. All water mains, water connections, valves, fittings, hydrants and other appurtenances, except water extensions, shall be the property of the city, unless otherwise provided.

D. Classes of Service. The classes of service shall be residential and commercial. Residential service shall consist of water service that is supplied for domestic purposes to a single-family dwelling. Commercial service shall consist of water service that is not residential service. If water is supplied to a customer at the same premises both for domestic purposes in a single-family dwelling unit and for other purposes, the rate for commercial service shall apply for the combined usage.

E. Resale of Water. A customer may resell water only if the city permits resale in writing, such water has been metered and the customer is current with respect to all utility billings with the city. In times of water shortages, resale of water may not be allowed as determined by the public works director.

F. Service Preference. In case of a water shortage, the city may give preferences among customers as public convenience or necessity requires. No reduction in water service to customers within the city may exceed the reduction applicable to the same type of service for customers outside the city.
