The date and time of such use;

(2)

The purpose of such use;

(3)

The estimated quantity of water to be used;

If unauthorized use of private fire prevention service continues, the Department shall notify the Fire Department and the occupant of the property served by said private fire prevention service, in writing, of the unauthorized use of such service and of the Department's intention to discontinue such service in accordance with this Section. If the

charge of Twenty-five and no/100 Dollars ($25.00) per incident for unauthorized use of such private fire prevention service shall not have been paid within ten (10) days after the mailing of such notice, the Department shall discontinue such private fire prevention service.
