constructing new work, in making repairs or in an emergency, the right
is reserved to shut off the water from any consumer without notice
for as long a period as may be necessary.

and make contracts in all proper cases, or to turn off the water supply
without notice in case of extensions, repairs or other necessity,
without liability for damages for lack of water or for any damage
which may result from the turning off of the water supply.
Whenever any of the provisions of this chapter
are violated, the water supply may, in the discretion of the Village,
be shut off and the meter removed.
