Sec. 14-A. Authority to disconnect water for nonpayment of sewer service. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the event a user of the district’s sewer system fails within a reasonable time to pay the district’s rates, fees or charges for sewer service, the district may disconnect water service to the user, as long as the disconnection is accomplished in accordance with procedures established in applicable law or rules governing disconnection of utility services and terms and conditions approved by the Public Utilities Commission.

SUMMARY
