Common use of Interruptions of Service Clause in Contracts

Interruptions of Service. The Commission will make reasonable efforts to avoid interruptions of service, but does not guarantee to the customer any fixed pressure or continuous service. When service interruptions occur, service will be reestablished within the shortest time practicable, consistent with safety. The Commission reserves the right to stop and restrict the supply of water whenever it may be found necessary, and the Commission shall not be liable under any circumstances for a deficiency or failure in the supply of water, whether occasioned by shutting off water to make repairs or connections, or for any cause whatsoever. In connection with the operation, maintenance, repair and/or extension of the Commission’s water system, the water supply may be shut off without notice, when necessary or desirable; and each customer assumes the risk of such emergencies. The Commission shall not be held liable for any damages from such interruption of service or for damage from the resumption of service without notice after any such interruption. Planned interruption, where practical, will be made at times that will not cause unreasonable inconvenience to customers and reasonable efforts will be made to give prior notice to those customers who will be affected. Failure to notify a customer of such interruption, however, shall not be grounds for damages.
