City of Industry Municipal Code Art. I Character of Service

The city will endeavor to deliver a dependable supply of potable water from available sources, in quantities adequate to meet the reasonable needs of its customers. The delivery of such supply will be at the service connection. The city may suspend temporarily the delivery of water for the purpose of making repairs or improvements to its system. Such repairs or improvements will be made as rapidly as practicable. Customers dependent on a continuous water supply should provide adequate storage for emergencies. During any emergency, the city may apportion the available water supply among its customers in the manner that appears most equitable under the circumstances prevailing and with due consideration for public health and safety.

(Ord. 400 § 2, 1977)

Service provided by the city shall at all times be subject to the regulations promulgated by the city council. All persons applying for or receiving water service shall be required to accept and shall be deemed to have consented to accept water service subject to such regulations, conditions of pressure and service as may be provided from time to time by the distribution system at the location served and to hold the city harmless from any damage arising from low pressure or high pressure, fluctuations of pressure, interruptions of service, shortage, insufficiency of supply or condition not within the city's control.

(Ord. 400 § 2, 1977)

Where the use of water is unusually intermittent or is subject to violent fluctuations of a character that may impair service to other customers, the city may require that the customer provide, at his or her own expense, suitable equipment to reasonably limit fluctuations in use and pressure caused by the customer's equipment or operations.

(Ord. 400 § 2, 1977)

The city will endeavor, to maintain such pressure as recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. In the event any consumer deems that pressures are inadequate, the consumer shall furnish at his or her own expense whatever devices are necessary to boost the pressure for his or her own premises. In the event water pressures are in excess of any consumer's normal requirements, it shall be the responsibility of such water consumer to install such devices on his or her own premises to protect his or her plumbing and/or to reduce the pressure for his or her normal needs. The consumer shall obtain approval of any devices installed to insure protection of public water supply.
