Pub. L. 83-364, tit. I, sec. 103

Sec. 103. The Commissioners are authorized to provide for the collection of water charges, in advance or otherwise, from the owner or occupant of any building, establishment, or other place furnished water or water service by the District, and to shut off the water supply to any such building, establishment, or other place upon failure or the owner or occupant thereof to pay such water charges within thirty days from the date of rendition of the bill therefor. Such authority to shut off the water supply may be exercised by the Commissioners regardless of any change in ownership or occupancy of such building, establishment, or other place. When the water supply to any such building, establishment, or other place has been shut off for failure to pay such water charges, whether the water supply to such building, establishment, or other place was shut off before or after the enactment of this title, the Commissioners shall not again supply such building, establishment, or other place with water until all arrears of water charges, together with penalties and the costs actually incurred in shutting off and restoring the water supply, are paid.
