(b) In case of failure of mains, service, pumping machinery, reservoirs or other equipment or through the cessation of operation of any pumps by virtue of the electric power being temporarily cut off or discontinued, or for the purpose of testing, extending, repairing or cleaning water mains, services, or pump and filter station equipment, the water may be shut off as found necessary by the director, without notice to users and no claim will be considered and the water board will not be liable for damage to service branches, boilers, machinery, plumbing or other fixtures, property or persons arising therefrom.
(c) The director shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to enter and inspect any premises or any part of all premises using water provided by the water board, at any time that it may so desire. For this purpose, any water board employee or authorized contractor who may be designated by the director, upon exhibition of proper credentials or badges of the water board, at reasonable hours, shall have free access to such premises. When such access is refused, the water may be turned off at the option of the director, and not turned on again until a reactivation fee as identified in the board schedule of rates has been paid to water board.
