(e) Vacated premises. Water rates will be charged for vacated premises until the city is notified of the discontinuance of the use of water, and is requested to turn off the water. (f) Admittance to premises. Any authorized employee of the city shall be admitted at all reasonable hours to all appropriate parts of the premises supplied with water to see that the provisions of this article, resolutions adopted pursuant hereto, and administrative regulations published in accordance herewith are carried out. (g) Unauthorized turn -on or tampering. No one except an authorized employee of the city shall turn the water on or off from or to any premises at any city curb stop, or connect or disconnect, or in any way tamper with, any pipes in the meter boxes or with any other part of the water system of the city. (h) Resale or distribution. No customer supplied by the city shall commercially supply water to any other person on property other than the premises for which the customer has applied for service, except as may be permitted by special agreement with the agency. Water used by any customer shall be restricted to that use specified in the application or permit for such service. (i) Utility emergency requirements. All faucets, sprinklers, hose nozzles, or other continuous streams must be shut off promptly upon the sounding of an alarm of fire or upon notice of other emergency or major disaster. The water shall not be turned on again until the fire is known to be extinguished or the required repairs have been made. (j) Shut -offs for extensions and repairs. The city reserves the right upon reasonable notice, if possible, at any time to shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making extensions or repairs, or for other purposes, and all persons having boilers within their premises not supplied with tanks or cisterns, but depending upon the pipes of the city to keep them supplied, shall caution against the danger of collapse. (k) Responsible owner or applicant. In all cases where water is supplied to several tenants from one connection or tap, the city contracts only with the person designated on the application.
