§ 15.12.060. Reconnection—Permit required.

A.

It is unlawful for any person, without first obtaining a permit from the department, to turn on water or to make any connection with the pipes or other fixtures of the water and sewerage system after the same have been shut off, stopped or discontinued by the department.

B.

Where the water has been turned off by the department for nonpayment of a bill, then, if upon proper investigation the water shall have been found to have been turned on without the consent of the department, this shall be deemed prima facie evidence that the occupant of the premises served is guilty of turning on the water in violation of this section.
