The City reserves the right to shut off the water in its mains for the purpose of making extensive or emergency repairs, or for any other purposes found necessary. The City shall not be responsible for any damages that may occur due to water shutoffs. The owner and/or consumer shall be conclusively presumed to have made all necessary precautions in compliance with the Building Codes and regulations of the Plumbing Code in anticipation of emergency shutoffs.

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.
