Powers of Water Authority.
5. It shall be lawful for the Water Authority to disconnect the service to any tenement which is not connected with a rider-main and to refuse to re-connect the same unless the owner shall give an undertaking to pay quarterly to the Treasurer the amount due for excess consumption and for meter rent as ascertained in accordance with the provisions of any regulations made hereunder. If any owner declines or neglects to give such undertaking within a period of 14 days from the date of notice in writing having been served on him by the Water Authority, or within such extended period as may be conceded by the Water Authority, it shall be lawful for the said Water Authority to disconnect the service of the said tenement as aforesaid.
